    Roughing out a new building for my game based on the Isle of Skye. Wouldn't be complete without a distillery! I think this one is going to start out occupied by gnomes and one of the quests will be to clear them out and get it running again... #gamedev #indiedev #godot #blender

    It's #PitchYaGame time. My [Untitled] adventure game is about travelling between worlds via mirrors and is set on an island loosely based on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It's got Clyde Puffer boats, distilleries, and mischievous Fae to contend with.

    Day 2 of #SpielMas is Isle of Skye from Mayfair Games & Lookout Games 🐑🌊 Tile placement, players set tile prices, new scoring goal combo each round. A bit like Carcassonne but building your own map & buying each tile. One of the first hobby games added to our collection. Still fun 10+ years later!

    This was game night. Tower Up is a new OG game, recommended! Mandala has become a permanent favorite. Hues & Cues surprisingly fun, but wants more than 3 players (plays up to 10!). Whereas Isle of Skye was better with that smaller number (I’m still lukewarm on it, tho—a pain to look across table).

    Isle of Skye. Won by tiebreaker! I was "in the lead" for the whole game from regular round scoring, so the others were getting more bonus money - but I had a lot of passive income in my tableau to keep up. The person who tied with me did it by surrounding end-game scroll scoring conditions.

    I've always enjoyed a good Pfister, but I hadn't ever tried Isle of Skye. I feel like I might not have pegged it as a Pfister game if it wasn't written, though. It feels like an upgraded Carcassonne + auction. I think I prefer my favs, Oh My Goods & GWT styled Pfisters. #boardgames #boardgamesky

    Isle of Skye. Tile placement game where you put up tiles for sale. You set the price; if nobody buys it, you buy it. Very cool mechanic, but otherwise the game plays like most tile placement games with a variety of scoring conditions. ⭐⭐⭐

    On the off-chance that you don't know this, Isle of Skye is also a tile placement board game that's rather a lot of fun.

    There are so many better boardgames. There’s been a revolution over the last 40 years or so: Stone Age, Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Isle of Skye, Wingspan, Pandemic… This site covers them all. However much time you have, however weighty you want a game, it’s got you covered.

    Offering fees for other players' dice feels like a mechanic that is yearning for a game that fully exploits it. Isle of Skye & Castles of Mad King Ludwig both let you set prices & run little markets, but this is different because you make offers not knowing what dice will be available.

    Suna Valo is maybe the perfect spouse-game (if you have a spouse that can handle a bunch of rules, but aren’t very fond of aggressive interaction). Happy merge of mechanisms and feel from 7 Wonders Duel, Deus and Isle of Skye. 2 player only and very, very cozy!

    3 of 4 You could have a three hour game. Think American Football and their inordinate numbers of stoppages to eat hot-dogs the size of the Isle of Skye. Think of the amount of time the ball is in motion, compared to the Scottish Association game.

    There isn't a game that triggers memories of a specific trip, but I do bring games on vacation for quiet time at our hotel. We played a bunch of Azul during this year's Japan trip. (Terrible placement pictured, by the way ... 😜). I did bring an Isle of Skye Shetland cow tile to said place, however.

    It’s ridiculously huge with all the DLC that adds France, Ireland, The Isle of Skye, and Svarthalfheim. I can’t even remember if Asgard was part of the base game or if that was DLC too. Blurred lines around all the content.

    29. Isle of Skye Remember that one game where you bid on bits to improve your area? I'm two drinks into my flight so neither do I, lol. Anyway, in Isle of Skye you set prices for others (or yourself) to buy tiles to add to your kingdom. Combo scoring objectives and build a handsome fief!

    For auction games, Ra is definitely a great one to try, but for me the best game you'll likely find at PAXU is Isle of Skye! Bid on land tiles to score the most points at the end. The auction aspect is a little strange but easy enough to pick up!

    I played a game of Isle of Skye recently, and that game is so, SO good. Carcassonne with a market for which you stock, simultaneous play, personal maps? It's SO smooth, and the twist to the formula only makes the game intriguing, not rules heavy. So. Good.

    I just read this article about Scottish culture in board games: bylines.scot/lifestyle/cl... I get their (valid!) point about stereotypes, but they also claim that Isle of Skye is the only game with a Scottish theme in the BGG Top 2,000. What about Clans of Caledonia and Glen More II Chronicles?
