Product Information

Not needing to pay for all your reserved cards takes a little of the edge off the draft, but it incentivises knowing what the other players are up to. It’s easy to deliberately take cards that your opponents want because you can simply discard them and often the only person that knows you’ve been an arse is you. It’s fun! Buying Cards – The Interesting Decision

Lesson cards create new rules, awarding or deducting extra points if the conditions of the lesson card is met. For example, players can receive extra points for having a specific number of cats or extra points per particular colour of cats touching the edge of the boat.This adds extra layers of strategy and tactics to the game. Lessons also enforce the opportunity for players to change their initial plans and take risks! I love the Kittens and events modules and would highly recommend this expansion to anyone who loves their copy of The Isle of Cats. Could I live without the beast’s part? Yes. However, I just don’t want to because the tiles are gorgeous! Here your Sister is trying to steal tiles from the pool! Make sure she doesn't take the tiles you want!

Note: A Scoring reference card is located in the bottom left corner of each boat. Hover over the card to display its contents. The family mode (an easier mode ideal for inexperienced players) features the cat placement only. This guarantees for a fun yet not overly complicated game. Once all players have drawn accordingly, deal new cards and repeat the process for seven rounds. Goals, Powers And End Game Non-public Lesson cards are personal objectives and are visible and achievable only to you. The quantity of private Lesson cards is public knowledge, but their contents are kept secret. Private Lesson cards allow you to score extra points at the end of the game.

The Isle of Cats

Strategy Tip: Fish are used as currency to both buy cards and to rescue cats. You must find a balance between how many cards you buy in the Explore phase and how many cats you wish to rescue in the Rescue phase! The sister will also have Solo lessons, which will be affected by what is placed on your boat. The easy difficulty will have 3 solo lessons, and the number of additional advanced lessons will increase depending on the difficulty. This ranges from 1 advanced lesson for Medium, up to 4 advanced lessons for Expert.
