About this game
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!

The Isle of Cats Patch 1.1.0
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45517731/d7726f8384b29ad49c4bf9321d392c2ecbfa9742.png Today’s patch addresses a number of issues reported by the community, along with a variety of general improvements. Community Reported Corrected several instances of mistranslation in Spanish. Updated several prompts for clarity, including Catnip and Catcall (and all similar effects) as well as prompting around discarding Lesson cards. Resolved a number of issues with the add friend flow. Gameplay Fixed several bugs where challenge and Rescue rules modifiers were not functioning as intended. Re-worded portions of the Rescue scoring screen for greater clarity. Corrected several softlocks and game crashes, including several which occurred in Rescues with certain modifiers. UX/UI Adjusted highlight positioning, shape and size throughout the game, including an issue where rare treasure highlights could become obtrusive. Resolved overlapping textures, objects and text. Corrected some visual issues with the auto-camera. Corrected numbering of tiles on the beach. Moved opponents’ boats closer to player’s, enabling better visibility when zoomed fully out. Opponent boats are still off-screen when zoomed far enough in. Gamepad Fixed an issue where certain Anytime cards couldn’t be played during Jump In windows while using a gamepad. Improved gamepad functionality on certain prompts, including the friends list and chat. You can now correctly use the bug report modal with gamepad (though we hope you don’t need to!).

Adjusted mobile cat tile tray for ease of use with certain cards. Fixed an issue where the front end menu could fail to load.
