About this game
Palm Island fits an entire village-building game into seventeen cards and your pocket. Each card folds to reveal new resources or buildings, so your tiny deck physically transforms as your island grows across eight quick rounds. It plays solo while you wait for coffee, cooperatively if a friend wants in, or competitively if you are both feeling sharp, and needs no table, just a flat surface and a few spare minutes. Small box, real decisions, endlessly pocketable, and somehow more replayable than games ten times its size.
