Isles & Tiles

Isles & Tiles is a turn-based resource management game about raising an island and building a colony. You use cards to shape the coastline, expand your settlement and gather resources while balancing your settlers’ needs against the cards available to you. Each island and run is different.

Shape the island

Cards let you raise and adjust the terrain to suit your plans. Forests can provide wood when you place a timberyard, while mountains can be mined for stone. You begin with a small stockpile of basic resources and build what you need.

Manage the colony

A colony is easy to manage at first, but as time passes you must weigh your settlers’ needs and desires. Islanders sometimes petition you to make choices that affect how you play, such as deciding whether to keep magical artefacts or return them to the people. You can focus on growing your population or set the colony aside and concentrate on building the best island you can.

Cards and strategies

You start with a core deck and unlock over a hundred new, more powerful cards as you play. Victory points unlock cards, and you can turn favourite cards into legendary foil versions. New cards can introduce mechanics and resources, change your approach or open new paths to victory. You also find artefacts that modify the game’s rules and provide new strategies or options.

Events and goals

As you explore different paths to victory, you unlock cards, events, trophies and modifiers. Islanders’ petitions and the changing opportunities of each run give you decisions to make as you develop your island and colony.

Soundtrack

The game features an original soundtrack inspired by Breton folk music.
