Buy Isle of Swaps PC key

Isle of Swaps is a card game about collecting Critter cards, building decks and taking on Critter Challenges. Dina is a Critter fan who has just received a starter deck and binder from her parents, but she wants to collect every card. You battle other characters, trade cards with those you beat and progress through a changing set of areas.

Critter combat

Build energy with weaker Skill cards, then spend it to play stronger cards. Critters have different stats, abilities, Weaknesses and Resistances, so you need to balance your team. Skill cards can only be used by Critters of the same element, which means losing a Critter may leave you unable to play Skills of its element.

Stickers provide passive bonuses, but using rarer Critters limits how many Stickers you can equip. Balance your deck of Critters, Skills and Stickers to suit your strategy.

Trade and build decks

After defeating a character, you can swap cards with them to build your deck, including duplicates, with no fixed trade limit. Cards you obtain go into your binder, where you can change your Battle Deck at any time. Hundreds of cards, illustrated by a number of artists, are available to collect, alongside a range of Skills and passive ability Stickers.

Challenges and collection

For each Challenge, choose one of three map cards. You can take the unflipped cards for a riskier route; these award money that you can spend on Booster Packs. A Challenge victory adds the cards in your Battle Deck to your permanent Master Binder. You can then customise the starting Critter for future runs and build Master Decks for the Critter Championship, which tests your deckbuilding in the toughest fights.

Each run uses three of six areas, which can appear in any order, so the areas you encounter and their sequence vary from run to run.
