The Isle of Skye is a strategic game where five clans are competing to become the ruler of the island. The chieftain who can develop their clan's territory and make wise trades will be crowned king. To do this, players must leave their castle and build up the island by adding green hills, beaches, and mountain ranges. They can also raise livestock, produce whisky, and build forts and ships to expand their territory. The key to success is setting tile prices, making purchases and sales, and strategically building structures.
Each game is unique and requires different strategies and tactics. The game is easy to learn with adaptable rules, making it suitable for all types of players. It can be played with 1 to 5 players, either in single-player mode against challenging computer opponents, in local multiplayer with friends, or online against clans from all over the world. Players can also choose from 16 different objectives to add variety to each game.
The game features simple yet tactical mechanics, adapted from the award-winning board game Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King by Andreas Pelikan and Alexander Pfister. Players can learn the rules through an interactive tutorial or by watching games of top players on their device. The game also offers an asynchronous mode with push notifications, allowing players to take their time and never miss a turn.
The game is available in multiple languages, including French, English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese, and Italian. It has received numerous awards, including the 2016 UK Games Expo Best Boardgame and the 2016 Kennerspiel des Jahres Winner. It has also been nominated for several other awards, such as the 2015 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year and the 2016 International Gamers Award - General Strategy: Multi-player.
