Game 1
Addition up to 20

Be the first to get the key
The sea monster has been guiding the key for ages. It is horribly bored. Whoever pirate offers it 10 presents, one for each tentacle, will get the key. If the pirate makes a mistake and gives the monster more objects, it will push him into the water and he loses in that round.

Used materials:
The game box and the Island game field;
Cards:
     Objects: all but 8 and 9
     Wild cards: Wavefall, Stouty, Jovy
     Objective: Key
Chips: According to the number of players, see the diagram above.

Game setup:
Turn the game box with the Island play field with the sea monster facing the players. Stick the Key objective card between the play field and the box as shown below. Each player selects an Avatar card and places the chips on it. Each chip represents a life point.
Shuffle the cards and place them in front of the box.

Wild cards:
Wavefall:
Splashes waves on the rafts and the objects fall off.
All collected cards return to the deck.
Stouty:
Steals as many objects from the raft as he can.
Place him on the card with the most objects and reset it.
Jovy:
He would not carry heavy things, but he will help a friend.
Put him on the card with least or no objects and reset it.

Game play:
The tallest player is the first to deal the cards face up (see the diagram!). The rest of the deck is placed facing down in front of the game box. The players take turn clockwise. The first player places one of his cards in front of the monster and draws one card from the deck. The next player places one of his cards in front of the monster, trying to keep the sum of the objects on all cards, including his own, less than 10. If the sum is greater than 10, the monster pushes the player in the water and he loses this round. He has to place a chip on The Island game field. Collect the cards and deal them again.

End of the game:
The game is over when only one of the players has any chips left. He wins the game and gets the key to the treasure. He wins the Key objective card, which gives him the right to play first in Game 2.

Hint for the adults:
You can play games 1 and 2 independently or consecutively.

9 Chips

Win two ghosts
Take cards from the deck until you get two objects. You have to solve two problems in order to win two chips -- one with addition and one with subtraction.
You win chips only if you solve both problems right.

Game play:
If you played Game 1 first, the pirate holding the key plays first. Otherwise the youngest player starts. The player draws three cards from the deck. He has to make a subtraction problem with two of them using the (-) card. If he sets up and solves the problem correctly, he gets a chip and places it on his Avatar card. He wins one of the ghosts over for the treasure hunt. If there is a wild card drawn the player executes its task. When ready, the player returns the cards to the deck.

End of the game
The player who gets the most chips wins the game.
If there are three players playing the score can be even. In this case the treasure is divided between them.

Hints for adults:
Keep in mind that the smaller number is subtracted from the bigger, ordering them from left to right.
You can use additional rules in the game:

Example 1:
If a child tends to use only the smallest numbers, place the Stouty card and announce that for this round you have to use the cards with the most objects.
Example 2:
If you want to encourage solving problems with greater difference between the numbers place the Stouty and Jovy cards and announce that for this round you have to use the cards with most and fewest objects.
