Board Game The Isle of Cats - Kittens & Beasts

This is a great expansion for the popular board game «The Isle of Cats». Contains new kitten and animal tiles, a tablet and bag for kittens, animal figures and bags for them, event tiles and bag for them, royal rat tokens, used basket tokens, additional victory point tokens, new task cards, cards for the family game and an updated notebook for counting points.

The expansion consists of three separate modules - «Kittens», «Animals» and «Events», which can be used together or separately. Also included is a small module of new tasks. If you want to diversify the base game, expand strategic possibilities and try new tactics, then PlayTale strongly recommends buying this add-on.

Kittens Module

Does not complicate the base game and provides more opportunities for the fastest player. This player can now save not only cats, but also kittens. At the beginning of the game, 4 random kitten tiles from the bag are placed on the kitten board near the island.

In the fourth phase ("Cat Rescue"), the first player can save 1 cat, 1 kitten or 2 kittens. The player also pays for kittens with fish and baskets (1 basket is enough for two kittens).

Kittens are placed on the ship in the same way as cats. Kittens are subject to the same rules as cats.

Animal Module

Expands the players` options at the beginning of the game. Animals can only be saved on the first day. Before the first round, animals are placed in the right zone (5 fish) instead of cat tiles.

Players save animals in the same way as regular cats, using baskets and fish. Animals are placed on board like cats, and the same rules apply to them.

The animal tiles depict friendly cat families. If an animal is placed next to the corresponding family, they become friends. One animal can only be friends with one family. At the end of the game, each such friendship brings 5 ​​points.

Event Module

Makes the game more difficult, changes the basic rules, and offers new ways to score victory points. Before the game starts, event tiles are placed on the face-up (divisions #1 and #5) and face-down (divisions#2, #3, and #4) day tracks. Vesha`s ship starts from the 5th division. At the beginning of each round, the tile to which Vesha`s ship moves is activated.

Event tiles are divided into 2 types:

• Action tiles. They give bonuses, punish with fines, change the rules on a certain day.
• Point tiles. Allow you to score points on certain days.
