About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're already a fan of The Isle of Cats and want to level up your game, the Kickstarter Pack 2 is for you! This little gem brings a bunch of new stuff to supercharge the Kittens + Beasts expansion, including those awesome, larger wooden beast meeples. Plus, there are more cats to rescue, more beasts to encounter, and even new event cards to make everything more unpredictable and fun.

The pack adds 10 new event tiles that can be mixed with those from the base game and the other expansion, creating fresh combinations every game. If you enjoy set collection, clever tile placement, and pattern building for points, you'll love this. It's a great way to add more variety and replayability to your collection, especially if you dig the vibe of rescuing critters and building your island full of cats and beasts.

The language dependency is moderate, so you might need a little help with card translations or use a reference sheet. But honestly, for fans of The Isle of Cats, this pack is a find to enhance the experience. It brings extra content that was exclusive to the second Kickstarter in 2021, so it's your chance to grab some cool bonus material and make your game even more special.
