Gandalf's Isles is a new RMS created with the goal of making an improved island map with more variability, and with new options and strategies for gameplay. It does not represent any 'known' region, but while the location is imaginary, the gameplay is different and exciting.
The map is characterized by each player starting on individual islands completely surrounded by water, with variable starting positions, variable terrains, and great variation in the position of other islands in the sea. Enemy players will not always be directly opposite on the map. The 20 different terrain patterns are not meant to be a representation of any specific area, just variety for the sake of enjoyment. These terrain patterns have appropriate forests, fauna, Native American types and treasures to match.
Each player's starting island contains a single Native American village, all of one type, with a few other villages of a different type scattered among the other islands... |
