Isle of Skye. From Chieftain to King — a strategic board game where 2–5 players become the chiefs of ancient Scottish clans and create their own kingdoms by placing landscape tiles and competing for victory points.
Each game is unique: out of 16 possible scoring conditions, only 4 are used, making the game highly replayable and forcing players to change their strategy each time.
Strategy with auction and tile placement — players lay out landscapes, shaping their kingdom.
- Unique pricing system — you set the price for your tiles, but if no one buys them, you have to pay.
- High replayability — different combinations of victory conditions in each game.
- Winner of the Kennerspiel des Jahres 2016 award — recognition from the expert jury.
- Simple rules, deep strategy — suitable for both families and experienced players.
