Thames & Kosmos My Island | Legacy Family Board Game | 24-Episode Island-Building Campaign | By Reiner Knizia | 2–4 Players | Ages 10+

Features

• A LEGACY GAME WHERE YOUR ISLAND IS TRULY YOURS Each player has their own personal double-sided gameboard representing their own island. Over 24 episodes, you build it up by placing tiles, applying stickers, and writing directly on the board. No two islands will ever look the same.
• 24 EPISODES ACROSS 8 SEALED CHAPTERS The game unfolds through 8 sealed envelopes, each containing new rules, stickers, and materials that permanently change your island as the story progresses. Three episodes form a chapter; each chapter plays in about 90 minutes. Open envelopes only when it's time.
• COMPETITIVE TILE-PLACEMENT STRATEGY Each round, all players simultaneously place the same revealed tile on their own boards. Score points by placing houses on beaches, building farms, villages, and fortifications, and connecting paths from jungle statues to the sea. The best placement decisions win.
• A MYSTERY TO UNCOVER The story of your island spans from your first arrival to the solution of a final mystery. Progress circles track your cumulative performance across all 24 episodes the overall winner isn't decided until the very last one.
• PLAY IT FOREVER WITH THE ETERNAL GAME The back of each gameboard features a standalone replayable version that can be played anytime with new players. Designed by Reiner Knizia, creator of Keltis (Spiel des Jahres 2008) and My City (nominated for Game of the Year 2020).

Description

You've arrived at an unknown island. What you do with it is entirely up to you. My Island is a legacy tile-placement game in which each player develops their own personal island across 24 episodes. Every session, a card is revealed and all players simultaneously place the matching tile on their own board — but where and how you place it is your choice. Build farms, villages, and fortifications by grouping matching symbols. Connect paths from jungle statues to the sea. Cover beach spaces before the episode ends. Score well and earn progress circles that accumulate toward the overall winner revealed in the final episode. What sets My Island apart is its permanent progression. You apply stickers directly to your gameboard, write on it, and unlock new terrain and rules through 8 sealed chapter envelopes — opened only when you reach that chapter. After 24 episodes, your board is a one-of-a-kind artifact that no one else's will ever match. And when the campaign ends, the game doesn't. The back of each gameboard features the Eternal Game — a fully replayable standalone version you can play with any group, any time. Designed by Reiner Knizia (Keltis, My City), illustrated by Michael Menzel (Adventures of Robin Hood, Legends of Andor). For 2–4 players, ages 10 and up. Each chapter plays in about 90 minutes.
