Description
About This Game
Raise an island from the sea and build your colony upon it! Isles & Tiles is a turn-based resource management game where you balance expanding your island, growing your colony, and gathering resources against the needs of your settlers and the draw of your cards.
Start with a core deck and unlock new cards, events, trophies, and modifiers as you explore new paths to victory!
Raise an Island – Use the cards you draw to shape the contours of your coastline and build your colony. No two islands will ever be the same, and you can always adjust the terrain to suit your needs.
Manage Your Resources – Start with a small stockpile of basic resources, and build what you require. Need more wood? Raise a forest and place a timberyard, or turn a tile into a mountain and mine it for stone.
Balance Your Needs – The beginning of every colony is easy, but once time starts to pass you'll have to weigh in on the needs and desires of your settlers. What will you choose?
Unlock Legendary Cards – Start with a core deck and unlock over a hundred new and more powerful cards as you play. Collect victory points to unlock new cards or convert your favourite cards into legendary foil versions!
Many Strategies, Many Goals – Every run is different! As you play you'll discover new cards, which can change the way you play and open up new mechanics, resources, or whole new paths to victory. Focus on your population, or ignore the colony and just build the best island you can - it's up to you!
Acquire Powerful Artefacts – Over time you'll find a wide array of powerful artefacts that can modify the game rules and open up new strategies or options. No two runs will be alike!
Make Meaningful Decisions – Occasionally, your islanders will petition you with important choices that can impact how you play. Will you hoard magical artefacts for yourself, or give them back to the people? The choice is yours.
Isles & Tiles is inspired by classic tile-placement board games like Dorfromantik, Carcassonne, and Settlers of Catan. Build a perfect colony, unlock new cards, tweak your deck, and make meaningful decisions -- all while accompanied by an original Breton folk-inspired soundtrack!
