Rules for “The Island of Your Own” Game

“The Island of Your Own” is a very simple game in which you must make your own country. This is a game for you to use your Imagination! Here are the rules…

1.     First find a piece of paper

2.     Then get a pencil and eraser

3.     Now pretend that your pencil or your eraser is a huge ship (like the Mayflower but your own mind) and have your imaginary settlers come off the boat

4.     The game is that you must create new states for your imaginary settlers to settle in calling them by “Island #” (just start with 1 and see how many squares you can fit on the piece of paper)

5.     After you create your first “Island #” just keep drawing squares on the piece of paper and making new islands.

6.     Also you can make your settlers declare war on each other, for example, if “Island 2” declares war on “Island 7” you can make then fight each other. Whichever island wins the loser must join up with the winner (so if war was declared by “Island 2” and “Island 7” lost then “Island 7” becomes “Island 2”)

7.     And if you have enough spaces just keep making more and more “Island #” squares until your piece of paper is full.

8.     So have fun and just use your imagination to play this game
