Man, this is a review of tangents and digressions, but I’m going to take one more detour before we get to the main thrust. Products shown, tagged or featured on YouTube by creators are sold by merchants and are subject to merchant's terms and conditions.

It is pleasant to build in relative peace (and to ignore connecting roads), arranging tiles just so and trying to find the best ways to score points. The monetary compensation rather ensures that the lagging players will be able to purchase a tile and possibly protect the ones they’ve drawn, making up for their stagnation in prior rounds. This was difficult to do, but it gave this goal a new sense of immediacy, and some players decided to focus on other goals instead. of these are randomly chosen at the start of the game and so no two games feels alike thanks to the variety of win conditions on offer. To begin, place one scoring tile on each of the windows on the game board, and place the round marker on the board.

Isle of Skye is a tile placement, auction, territory building, strategy game for two to five players.

Each player begins the game with a player screen, a discard token, and a single castle tile that will make an income of five gold each round. Thanks to the scoring tiles, each game is different and leads to different tactics and strategies, but having enough money is useful no matter what else is going on.However, only 4 of the 16 available victory point conditions are in play every game, which creates a wide variabillity and lets players adapt their strategies for every game newly. And no matter how little money a player has, he or she is never without recourse for keeping a tile from another player’s grasp. Meanwhile, I believe both its expansions also offer extra challenges and adds new feels to the overall gameplay. Isle of Skye doesn’t have much in it that would be considered innovative, but it combines familiar elements into an appealing package that still feels fresh with each play.
