9.0/10
I think this replaces Merchants and Marauders for me. There's a lot to do but the game loop is clear. Also reminds me of Le Havre

Description
Islebound: Emerald Edition is a special edition of the game with some altered components and rules. It’s best to think of it as a variant of the game, rather than a 2nd edition. Islebound: Emerald Edition Upgrade Pack was available for owners of the original edition. The metal coins and painted wooden ships were also available separately, Islebound: Emerald Edition Deluxe Components. This edition of Islebound removes the book resource from the original game and replaces it with emeralds. Emeralds have different uses than books. You collect them when visiting a player-owned town and when you taking over a town. Emeralds must be used to buy building cards, and they can also be used to perform special abilities, such as keeping pirates and serpents after combat! The building deck is revised to account for this resource change. It includes altered building cards from both the original game and some from the Metropolis expansion. There will not be a building card expansion for Islebound: Emerald Edition, and the Metropolis expansion is not compatible with this version.

I like it. Sail around taking over islands via attack or diplomacy. Take over other players towns or non-allied towns. Gather resources to gain pirates or sea serpents or fish or wood. Construct buildings for benefits and victory points. Seems a little complicated at first, but like all of Laukat's games, it makes complete sense, is well thought out, and easy to grasp after a few turns. I probably like this a small amount less than Above and Below and Near and Far, but that's only because the other mechanics appeal to me more. This is solid. Will want to try multiplayer instead of just solo multi-handed.
8.0/10
Surprisingly confrontational pick up, deliver and area majority race for the points. I really have started to love Laukat's design despite not loving his open world games.
8.0/10
I never played the original edition, so I have nothing to compare it against, but this edition is a very fun, fast and furious game of taking over the map with pirates and sea serpents. I don't know if I can think of anything terribly special this game does that another game doesn't, but it's very fun to play and has outstanding art. Follows the usual Red Raven tradition of making a mostly abstract game feel very thematic with it's excellent art style and graphic design.
8.0/10
If someone is winning there is a bit of a runaway leader issue, especially if people aren't trying to stop them.
