What is the new challenge mode?
Test your skills and see how you fare against the new challenges!
There are 4 new challenges available, these challenges are here to stay so you can retry them whenever you’d like. All 4 challenges feature a weekly and global leader board too. 

• A Short Journey For those of us who want to play ISLANDERS: New Shores but may have a busy schedule, this is a shorter condensed version to play! How high a score can you get within 3 islands?

• No Time To Dilly Dally
  You’ve got 30 minutes to score as high as possible, keep an eye on the timer at the top of the screen and prepare to play quickly!

• Temple Trouble Build your city around placing your perfect temple, we have a high score temple placement so far of 1014 - we're keen to see what you all can do 👀

• Fully Stacked If you had a perfect start to the game, all the buildings and all the boons available, what would you place first? You can't earn more buildings or boons, so plan carefully!
  This challenge will always start in the desert biome.

We’re ideally going to be adding more challenges with future patches, so let us know what you think to the challenges... who knows what the next challenge will be 👀
