🐸 HOW TO PLAY
An island that appears only at night
In Isle of Night, players take on the role of explorers drawn by the legends of a mysterious island that only emerges from the waters at sunset. With your faithful dog at your side, you row toward the shore to discover treasures and face hidden dangers.
The heart of the deck
The island is represented by a deck of cards: each turn, you draw new cards and choose one type to keep, leaving the rest available. Any cards not taken remain in play, creating an increasingly rich supply that increases the tension with each turn.
Choices and growing tension
As the game progresses, valuable uncollected cards accumulate. Deciding when to intervene and which cards to claim is key to balancing risk and opportunity, especially when your opponents are ready to steal your best move.
Manipulate values
Some cards don't just award points, they change the value of entire card types, radically shifting priorities. This opens the door to twists, reversals, and strategies that evolve throughout the game.
A pocket adventure
The game lasts about twenty minutes, making it perfect for playing anywhere. The winner is the player who makes the most use of their deck, seizes the right opportunities, and adapts their strategy to the ever-changing rules of the nocturnal island.

Isle of Night
The island appears only at night. Only those who know how to listen to the silence can conquer it.
A nighttime paperback where every card is a discovery, every choice a risk
Isle of Night – An island that only exists when the sun goes down
As the day fades and mist rises over the water, a mysterious island emerges from the darkness . You've heard legends of hidden treasures, forgotten relics, spirit animals, and unseen dangers... but now you're here, with your boat, your faithful dog, and the courage to explore.
In Isle of Night , the deck is the island itself: every card you reveal can be valuable loot, a special ability, or a plot twist. The tension builds with every turn , as unselected cards pile up, creating new opportunities (and new temptations).
Easy to learn, intense to master . A family game, but with the subtle satisfaction of building the perfect collection… at the last second.
A quick, pocket-sized collection with a nocturnal heart that beats strategy
Isle of Night is a compact, strategic card game for 2 to 5 players from Red Raven Games (the same team behind Near and Far). The gameplay revolves around a simple yet elegant set collection mechanic, with cards that can modify the values of your collections or grant you unique abilities.
Each turn, players draw cards from the “island” (the deck), but must choose only one type to keep , leaving the others available for the future… or for their opponents.
A quick game (20 minutes), perfect for light evenings, family games, or thoughtful solo breaks . The pocket-sized format makes it ideal to take anywhere, while the tactical depth guarantees replayability and satisfaction.
A title recommended for those who love small games with big decisions .
We watched it from the shore… and we couldn't resist the call 🐸
Isle of Night surprised us: it's one of those games that doesn't scream , but whispers something intriguing . The balance between risk and opportunity is constant, and every card has the potential to change your strategy.
The fact that discarded cards remain in play creates a silent tension , which grows as the island fills with options.
Perfect as a clever filler game , or as a small game to take on the go or play with anyone. It has a visual poetry of its own, thanks to Ryan Laukat's illustrations, and an accessibility rare in titles so packed with choices.
It may not be the largest island in the world… but it's the one you won't forget.
