About the game
The Race to the Raft Kickstarter Pack is the ultimate expansion for those who already love the base game and want to dive even deeper into the feline rescue adventures! This pack supercharges your experience with a load of brand-new content and a component upgrade that will make your game board feel luxurious. Get ready for 28 never-before-seen scenarios included in the campaign book, introducing four special island boards that bring fresh challenges and strategies to the table. But the fun doesn't stop there! The new hybrid fire tiles arrive to spice up the game. They are larger and more complex, requiring sharp spatial reasoning to create safe bridges for the kittens to cross the flames. It's a constant risk-and-reward, where one wrong move can cost you the victory. And for the true masters of strategy, four expert scenarios have been added, promising games that can last up to two hours, testing your skills to the limit. To top it off, your 'talk,' 'meow,' and 'water' tokens get a makeover with robust, high-quality wooden pieces. It's the perfect combination of more challenging content and a premium look for your gaming sessions.
