About the game
My Island brings Reiner Knizia's legacy city-building formula to a personal island setting, where your community grows across twenty-four connected sessions. Each game reveals new rules, materials, and story beats as your hexagonal island permanently evolves. Competing players enclose territory, chase catch-the-leader dynamics, and uncover hidden secrets tied to the island's history. It's a legacy experience built for repeat play over many sessions with the same group.
Hobbli's Notes
My Island continues the excellent formula Knizia established with My City, delivering satisfying tile-laying with an evolving narrative hook. Hobbli loves how each session builds meaningfully on the last, making the legacy journey feel earned. It's a great pick for a regular group ready to commit to two dozen sessions together.
What we like
- Engaging legacy structure that evolves over many plays.
