The Isle of Cats: Kittens + Beasts

About this expansion

The Isle of Cats: Kittens + Beasts is a 2022 expansion for The Isle of Cats, supporting 1–6 players with a play time of about 90 minutes.

This expansion adds three modular experiences that can be used independently or combined in any way you choose. It also introduces lesson module I and six new family cards, giving you more options for shaping each game.

• Kitten module: An easy addition for Standard, solo, family, and up to six-player games. It makes being the fastest player each day more important and introduces kittens as new options without adding much complexity.
• Beast module: A medium-complexity module for Standard, solo, family, and up to six-player games. Ancient beasts provide early-game goals while you search for lesson cards. Each beast wants to be near its friends, so carefully positioning cat families is essential if you want them to form friendships and score points.
• Event module: A harder addition for Standard, solo, and up to six-player games. Events change the rules in rounds 1 and 5, while rounds 2, 3, and 4 introduce new ways to score points.

The event module asks you to adapt your strategy from round to round, considering how each rule change can work to your advantage. The beast module adds another positional challenge, while the kitten module offers a lighter way to give daily speed greater importance.

With its flexible combination of modules, The Isle of Cats: Kittens + Beasts lets you adjust the challenge and style of your game. Use one addition for a focused change, or combine them for a more layered experience.
