Summary
The Isle of Cats is a competitive, card-drafting polyomino cat-placement board game for 1-4 players. It supports solo and family play, while offering a challenge to the most experienced gamer. You are a citizen of Squall's End on a rescue mission to the Isle of Cats and must save as many cats as possible before the evil Lord Vesh arrives. Each cat is represented by a unique tile and belongs to a family, you must find a way to make them all fit on your boat while keeping families together. You will need to manage resources as you explore the island (by drafting cards), rescue cats, find treasures, befriend Oshax, and read ancient lessons. Each lesson you collect will give you another personal way of scoring points, in addition to filling your boat and keeping cat families together! The Isle of Cats family mode provides a beginner friendly, gateway game which can be played by anyone new to the board game hobby, and children. It removes a lot of the complexity included within the standard game and simplifies the setup, learning curve, and decisions players must make. The Isle of Cats solo mode has been designed to provide players with a similar experience to the multiplayer game. You won't be competing to get the best score possible, but instead you will be faced against your sister!
