Description

Inis is a game of strategy and area control, where 2 to 4 players compete to become the King of the Island. With its roots in Celtic history and lore, the game offers a unique blend of exploration, mythology, and wargame elements. Players must carefully draft and manage their action cards to achieve one of three victory conditions: Leadership, Land, or Religion. The game requires a balance of power, careful timing, and clever hand management to outmaneuver opponents. While battles may occur, the goal is not to eliminate other clans, but to coexist and earn victory points. With its modular board, variable setup, and extensive use of text, Inis offers a rich and immersive experience. Players can expect a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, making it a substantial and engaging game for those familiar with board games.
