Hi Everyone! I played through this game and had a great time. The core gameplay mechanics are fun I always like deckbuilding aspects in this sort of game. Good stuff: - fun core gameplay loop - good artistic design - intuitive gameplay and reasonable learning curve - fun deckbuilding aspect - well balanced 'campaign' with steadily increasing difficulty Bad Stuff: - bugs - some of the cards don't do what the card text says they do - Blacksmith - says on the card 'Blacksmiths generate +1 (Iron) for each adjacent mine...' - actually only generates +1 for every 2 adjacent mines - Mana - says on the card 'Instantly get +10 (Mana)' and doesn't list any cost to play it - only actually gives +5 Mana - the deck building filter doesn't seem to work consistently - I have cards filtered out (Runes specifically) that still appear in the game - scenarios - once you complete all the scenarios you can, in theory, go back and play them again just for fun (and vi...

About This Game
Raise an island from the sea and build your colony upon it! Isles & Tiles is a turn-based resource management game where you balance expanding your island, growing your colony, and gathering resources against the needs of your settlers and the draw of your cards.
Start with a core deck and unlock new cards, events, trophies, and modifiers as you explore new paths to victory!
Raise an Island – Use the cards you draw to shape the contours of your coastline and build your colony. No two islands will ever be the same, and you can always adjust the terrain to suit your needs.
Manage Your Resources – Start with a small stockpile of basic resources, and build what you require. Need more wood? Raise a forest and place a timberyard, or turn a tile into a mountain and mine it for stone.
Balance Your Needs – The beginning of every colony is easy, but once time starts to pass you'll have to weigh in on the needs and desires of your settlers. What will you choose?

Unlock Legendary Cards – Start with a core deck and unlock over a hundred new and more powerful cards as you play. Collect victory points to unlock new cards or convert your favourite cards into legendary foil versions!
Many Strategies, Many Goals – Every run is different! As you play you'll discover new cards, which can change the way you play and open up new mechanics, resources, or whole new paths to victory. Focus on your population, or ignore the colony and just build the best island you can - it's up to you!

Acquire Powerful Artefacts – Over time you'll find a wide array of powerful artefacts that can modify the game rules and open up new strategies or options. No two runs will be alike!
Make Meaningful Decisions – Occasionally, your islanders will petition you with important choices that can impact how you play. Will you hoard magical artefacts for yourself, or give them back to the people? The choice is yours.
Isles & Tiles is inspired by classic tile-placement board games like Dorfromantik, Carcassonne, and Settlers of Catan. Build a perfect colony, unlock new cards, tweak your deck, and make meaningful decisions -- all while accompanied by an original Breton folk-inspired soundtrack!

User Reviews
I bought this because first of all I just love hex tiles games and I have rarely been disappointed so far and secondly because the graphics are just my cup of tea. For now, there are 6 scenarios which have their own focus (population, gold, island size...) and 5 difficulty levels. By finishing games, you earn points to unlock a lot of new cards and upgrades. You can manage your deck by filtering cards in your library. I only have played a handful of games so far but I already know this one is definitely a keeper! Settings are basic but sufficient. I prefer playing on the Steam Deck upon PC. The UI has its issues but they already made changes (incl. UI size slider) according to player feedback. For me, this, responsive devs, is already a star earned. Oh, apparently there is a workshop scenario but I won't check that out until I unlocked most of the cards by normal play so I can't give feedback on that.
