Burano, also known as the lace island, is an island in the northern Venetian lagoon. The island extremely famous for its brightly colored houses, those square-shaped houses of a riot of colors along the water channels make it like a fairy tale land. A favorite vacation spot for people all over the worlds.
In Burano, players represent a family leader on this little island. They can send men to fish for the main source of income, or send women to lacemaking to sale abroad. Making a good living and making Burano world famous, you have to figure out how to organize family members to their suitable work. The most intriguing aspect of Burano is the multi-level houses that all the players built together during game play, each time the board looks different.
Burano is played over four seasons, 14 rounds altogether. Through the novel "cube pyramid-driven" mechanism, players take turns paying coins to operate their cube pyramid during each round. The operation of the color-coded cubes would trigger certain actions, such as fishing, lace making, and house roofing, which will earn players victory points (VP). At the end of the game, whoever has earned the most VP wins.
在水都威尼斯諸島中，布拉諾島 (Burano) 以色彩動人又極富風土民情的特色建築聞名於世。當地的蕾絲紡織自古以來就是進貢給王室的珍貴精品，在今日，此處是數一數二的旅遊勝地，更是許多新人蜜月旅行的首選之一。
遊戲中，玩家們領導著自己的家人，在布拉諾島上，透過建築各式各樣繽紛色彩的美麗房屋，搭配著航海、紡織等當地居民世代相傳的經濟行為，努力成為島上最強盛的家族。《彩色島》最吸引人的，是在每次遊戲中透過建構一層又一層的彩色房屋，所有的玩家們最後會共同打造出一個獨一無二的美麗島嶼，在過程中不但能夠享受經營的樂趣，更有完成一個精美藝術品的滿足感。
遊戲主要行動就是在島上建構各種色彩繽紛的房屋，而不同顏色的房子建構完成時，會讓玩家們執行航海、紡織、以及收入等三種獨特卻又蘊含豐富樂趣的行動。
每一次建構「屋頂」讓島上的建築物越來越高聳的過程，也讓玩家們得到島民們的愛戴，藉此獲得榮譽分數，是一個透過建設家園而完成夢想的故事。這款遊戲跟一般歐式遊戲最大的不同，就在於它具有3D的立體空間策略，由於巧妙的利用其他對手放置的方塊以及屋頂，來借力使力是遊戲獲勝的一大重點，在遊戲的過程中，所有玩家到最後都會情不自禁的站起來，仔細的觀察每一個可以建構的地形細節，過程相當精彩有趣。
