Insula is a game for 2-5 players that takes less then an hour to play. Insula nicely combines cooperative and competitive modes of playing. The players represent a group of adventurers intending to explore the mysterious island. Your ship has landed on the island, and your goal is to gain entry into the Citadel deep inside the inland forests and defeat Kingosh, the dark lord of the island.
The game has various endings. One player can win by defeating Kingosh alone and claiming the fruit of fulfilled wishes for herself. The island itself can win and turn you all into more pitiful guardians roaming aimlessly through the forests. Your rivalry helps the dark lord. He cunningly uses a system of curses to pit you against each other. Therefore, sometimes it is better to put your differences aside and combine your abilities both during the game and in the final battle. You can defeat Kingosh together and share the magical fruit, each getting one wish. In that case,there will be multiple winners, but it's definitely better than to be turned into a guardian and shamble through the dark forest for eternity. However, it won't bring you as much glory as defeating the dark lord by yourself.
In the end, the choice is yours - by offering many styles of play Insula gives you opportunity to choose your preferred way.
