The Developer Says...

Citizens of Squall’s End! Lookouts have spotted the sails of the evil Lord Vesh on the horizon! We must save the Isle of Cats before he arrives!

The Isle of Cats is a competitive board game race to save a colorful collection of cats, scoring points based on how well you settle them into your personal rescue boat.

Each cat comes on a unique tile and belongs to a family of cats of its color. You must find an arrangement to fit them in your boat, while keeping families together and managing your resources along the way. Befriend mystical Oshax, read ancient lessons, and collect treasures to propel your boat to victory!

Once you’ve mastered the basics, level up your game with rotating Rescues! Every few days, a new Rescue will add twists on rules and objectives to add some catnip to your single-player PVE games. See how you measure up against the competition on seasonal leaderboards!

Ten tricky challenges – each with two levels of difficulty – provide a puzzly twist to classic gameplay. What if boats are full of treasure? What if your cats are roaming freely, with no placement rules? What if they keep to themselves, and don’t like other cats? Challenges give you new ways to play and explore!

15 achievements measure your progress on the Isle. From your first days as Skipper to your rise to Master Mariner, achievements show you how your game improves!
