2.   Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT

3.   Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.

4.   Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.

5.   Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.

Great fun and cute!

Love playing this game! It's variation on rules (solo, regular and family) are all great as well as all of the components are high quality. Doesn't take too long to learn or to play but definitely fun to play multiple times.

Fantastically replayable and beautiful game

When I first unpacked Isle of Cats I was concerned about the different aspects and expected it to be a bit awkward. The cat shapes that you place on your boat are absolutely gorgeous. But thers are also cards to be drafted and fish (the game's equivalent of money) to be used in conjunction with baskets to rescue cats from the island. But actually this all comes together to produce a really wonderful game that you'll want to play again and again. The components are stunning, but also you'll find yourself trying again and again to improve your strategy. Works just as well with 2 or 3 players. It also has a pretty fantastic solo game option. (I haven't tried with 4 players yet.) The flow of the gameplay keeps players on their toes. So much fun!

Fun game, easy to get into.

A light game, easily learned, though it takes a while to work out which cards are really useful. Good that you can't often tell who is winning until the scores are worked out.

Beautiful components and a joy to play

As soneone who doesn't like games with a lot of bits, my one negative in this game would be a slight awkwardness when playing. Still once you get started it's very easy to get immersed and it certainly doesn't hurt that the game is absolutely beautiful. There's a level of joy just in placing cats (contorted in wonderful polyomino shapes) onto your board. Not quite as elegant as my very favourite games, but one hell of a lot of fun and with a surprising level of complexity in the gameplay.

Saving all the beautiful cats

A lovely looking board game with high quality components. Gameplay is easy to learn but there is quite a bit of strategy to this game as well. Importantly for me it has a really good solo mode, solo plays a bit differently to multiplayer but is equally as engaging and fun! Thirsty Meeple were competitive on price and delivered on time and packed the game well.
