Stranded on your own private island, it's time to get all Robinson Crusoe and use your Treasure Chest to find clues!

Using your Box on Dream-Gate Island allows you to discover clues from all over the (treasure) map with a shroud of 0-1 with a ton of fun tricks.

EARLY GAME—SHIPWRECKED!:
Get a few charges on your Camera quickly, and get your Key out ASAP. Seeking Answers helps you get clues early if you need them. Mr. "Rook" helps you find everything and set up quickly. BONUS EARLY GAME TRICK: we all know getting engaged to an enemy too early will really mess up an investigator's mojo, so if you draw an enemy during the mythos phase, tap ol' Rook to find your weakness on purpose, get it out of the way, and get yourself out of harm's way in the process! (with a one-time ding of 2 sanity, which you can definitely afford)

MID-GAME—DIGGING FOR TREASURE:
Once you're set up, swap out Rook for your trusty sidekick Friday, and get your Candles out. These are your bread and butter cards to combo with Dream-Gate and Sixth Sense to start taking clues from all over the board! Plus, Sixth Sense gives you a Gold Doubloons combo with Crack the Case, since you can use either shroud value to investigate, but Crack lets you pay out on whichever one is higher.

If you can't find Olive or Candles, Premonition and Dark Prophecy can work for you in a pinch. If you have Olive and your Candles, these cards just help you win harder and faster. Same with Seeking Answers.

Vantage Point and Shortcut are there to keep you nimble and flexible and to pull clues from high shroud locations to Gate Box Island. Enraptured is there to add further charges to your Treasure Chest, so use it only when it's a sure thing.

UPGRADES—MAKING AN ISLAND PARADISE:
Candles > Grotesque Statue (excellent synergy with this deck. You need it)

Sixth Sense > Sixth Sense (Better better better. Take it asap)

Hubie's Key > Hemispheric Map (So strong for Luke, plus no ding to your sanity!)

___? > Recharge (You NEED this to live on the island. Drop whatever you aren't using as often, but make SURE you use this in combo with Premonition, so you're guaranteed not to lose your Box.)

Camera > Otherworldly Compass (Stay flexible so you can grab clues from the real world between stints of Island Living)

Eldritch Inspiration (If you don't like a few of the cards here, this is another way to get 2 clues from Sixth Sense)

Death • XIII (This is a great card long-term. Add it if you can find room)

Jewel of Aureolus (If you need your engine to go faster, need more cash/card draw, this is the card for you)

Shortcut > Pathfinder (Always a solid pick)

Recall the Future (Great combo with Olive, especially for investigating away from the Island)
