Set Sail to Nautilus Island Later This Year

Jun 14, 2023

Funnyfox Games and Hachette Boardgames are teaming to bring an English language edition of Nautilus Island to the States. In the game, players will take on the roles of castaways who stumble upon the abandoned submarine Nautilus. They’ll need to survive the dangers of the island while repairing the sub in order to make their escape. Nautilus Island is for two to four players, ages 8+, plays in around 20 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $29.99 when it arrives in Q4.

About the game:

You are shipwrecked on a mysterious and deserted volcanic island. In the wake of a storm, you come across a grounded and abandoned submarine: The Nautilus. You must explore it from top to bottom, and will need to collect as many objects as you can to ensure your survival, repair the submarine, and leave the island before the other castaways.

During their turn, players move their Castaway marker in a column and then choose between collecting object cards from the column or place down cards from their hand to start a collection. Storing objects allow players to claim bonus and/or porthole tokens before their opponents and get victory points. When a column is empty, the game ends. The player with the most victory points wins the game.
