Challenge yourself to hone your skills solo or take the chaos online with up to 4 players. Box out your rivals, cover the most ground, and collect Wisps until the strongest Fire wins! With fast-paced gameplay and ever-shifting strategies Fire Isle is a must-play for anyone who loves constant scheming & backstabbing against their friends. Should you unite against the winning Fire? Go straight for the Wisp? Or maybe wait until your friend is distracted by it... and then swoop in and block all their fires somewhere else? The choice is yours!
Every tile costs Sparks to ignite, a necessary resource for any wanna-be pyromaniac - after all, it's pretty tricky to light fires without a few Sparks. Once they're lit though, they can provide a good steady supply of Sparks back to you each turn. If Sparks fuel your Fires, then Ashes fuel your ambitions. All Fires eventually burn out and when they do, they leave Ash behind for you to use! With Ashes you can unleash devastating abilities, secure powerful upgrades, or even sabotage your rivals when they least expect it!
Always keep the Isle's terrain in mind, it's as unpredictable as your opponents! Ignite explosive Coal Deposits, erupt Fire launching Volcanoes, and even spend Ashes to burn through Snow, Sand, and Mountains. Adapting your strategy and pivoting to use what's around you as the number of unburned tiles dwindle is key!
These features are still being actively developed and aren't quite ready yet - however - they're going to be a huge part of Fire Isle when it releases!

THE ITEM BOX
Item Boxes can appear between rounds, giving players wildly chaotic advantages:
Spark Unlock - removes your Spark Cap for a limited time, letting you unleash your full potential.
Cold Front - freezes your rivals’ progress by spiking their tile costs.
Flame Umbrella - shields you from the brutal dowsing effects of rain.
#1 Extinguisher - singles out your greatest rival, stacking to cripple the leading player's Spark Gain!
Ash Pile - temporarily doubles the Ashes you gain when your fires burn out. Used wisely, it can set you up
Trap Queen - halves the Ash Cost for placing traps, so you can place tide-turning traps to your heart's content.
Lightning in a Bottle - resets your Lightning Cooldown, instantly giving you a fresh new start for your fires elsewhere on the Isle.
