About the game
This is the new island for the game Jackal: Archipelago. You'll have an adventure on a tidal island. The palm trees are tall and the shores go under water at high tide. Tide Island has, you might guess, tides - if you come across one, be kind enough to remove the three squares from the surf strip. A palm tree has appeared (not just a tile, but physically, in the form of a wooden figurine): you can climb on it and be in the lodge. But with the gold on the palm can not, you have to leave all the coins at the bottom - they are also in the set. Mix this set with the ones you already have to build even bigger islands. —description from the publisher (translated)
