We wanted something fun to finish the day. Why not Isle of Cats? It’s been at least 2 weeks since we played, almost an eternity!

We keep coming back to Isle of Cats because we have so much fun playing it. Even a bad round of Isle of Cats is a lot of fun. The most you can do to mess with another player is rescue a cat before they do, and even that is recoverable.

This round we had a slight wrinkle, but not a bad one. Alpal has been playing Isle of Cats with her mum and playing the Family Rules.

Apart from the cheating aspect that Alpal is getting in extra games (😋), the Family rules replace the drafting aspect. The scoring rules are also tweaked a bit. So the conditions weren’t exactly what Alpal was expecting.

This didn’t stop Alpal from scoring highly, but did mean a small change in thinking from what she became used to. I think I need to convince her mum to only play Family Mode rules so I have a higher chance to win!
