Preparation

Place the game board in the middle of the table. Each player selects an adventurer and places him on the game board on any location field with an illuminated ring.

Shuffle the location cards face down and distribute them equally around the board. The lightning bug tiles are shuffled with the lightning bugs face up and placed next to the game board.

Turn over four lightning bug tiles and place them on the corresponding location fields with the illuminated ring on the game board.

How to play

Moving the adventurer

Take turns in a clockwise direction. The player who has been on an island once (or the youngest player) begins and turns over any location card.

Which location is the card showing?

  • If you have turned over a location that your adventurer can reach directly and on which there is no other adventurer, you may move him there. Your turn continues, and you turn over additional location cards until you reach a location field with a lightning bug tile or you turn over a location that you cannot reach directly. Attention: Only one adventurer may be on a location field at a time. If another adventurer is already on a location field, then your turn is over.
  • If you turn over a location that your adventurer cannot reach directly, i.e., there are other location fields between your adventurer and the uncovered location field, your adventurer unfortunately must remain in place, and your turn is over.

At the end of your turn, flip all the location cards over again, so that they are all face-down. It is now the next player's turn.

Finding the lightning bugs

If you move your adventurer onto a location field on which there is a lightning bug tile, you may take it and place it in front of you. Draw a new lightning bug tile, turn it over and place it on the corresponding location with the illuminated ring.

Your turn is now over.

End of the game

The game ends as soon as a player has found 5 of the rare lightning bugs. This player has won the adventuresome search on Lumina and this summer can be named the "greatest lightning bug scout." If four players and each player has found 4 lightning bugs, everyone wins and it's a tie game.
