The Isle of Cats is a competitive, medium-weight board game for 1–4 players (up to 6 with expansions) that blends card drafting with polyomino tile placement. As citizens of Squalls End, you set out on a desperate mission to save as many cats as you can before the dreaded Lord Vesh arrives. Each cat is represented by a distinct tile and belongs to a specific family, and you’ll need to carefully arrange them on your boat while keeping their families united.

Along the way, you’ll juggle your resources as you:

• Explore the island through card drafting
• Rescue unique cats
• Discover hidden treasures
• Befriend the mystical Oshax
• Learn ancient lessons that shape your strategy

Every lesson you acquire offers a new personal scoring opportunity, and with 38 different lessons available, no two games feel the same. Fill your boat, complete your lessons, and keep cat families together to maximize your score. After five rounds, the player with the highest total emerges victorious.
