GothCon XLVIII

Inkfish Island

The forest

”This island used to work for the pirates. It would finish anyone off without wasting gunpowder.”

You are shipwrecked on Inkfish Island, an infamous place that keeps inventing new ways to wipe you out. Extreme weather, catastrophes and scarce resources will test your limits. The key to survival is cooperation – too bad you have to share this island with your mortal enemy.

Guide your team through heatwaves and blizzards, starvation and accidents. Craft, farm, collect rainwater, hunt and gather. Will you escape on a magnificient raft? Light a beacon and hope that a friendly ship picks you up? Or will Inkfish Island ruin your plans and turn you all into savages? As winter creeps closer, only one thing is certain - this desert island is way too crowded.

* Replayability! The shifting weather patterns, the intentions of your opponent and fate itself makes every game unique.

* Deep strategy! Few actions are ”good” or ”bad” - it all depends on context. Make plans but be prepared to adapt as new situations arise.

* Open-ended! Build a raft or light a beacon to get saved. Mind your own business or compete aggressively, maybe even launch an ambush.

Mechanisms: Worker placement, push your luck, meeple elimination
