The Isle of Cats, the hugely popular solo playable polyomino game about rescuing enchanted cats from a doomed island designed by Frank West and published by The City of Games, is getting a expansion aptly titled Kittens + Beasts. This upcoming expansion, which at the time of writing is currently live on Kickstarter, adds three new modules to the core game experience each fully compatible with one another as described by the publisher:

“Kitten module
Complexity: Easy
Compatible with: Standard mode, solo mode, family mode, and up to 6-players
The Kitten module adds more importance on being the fastest player each day and introduces new options in the form of kittens, without adding much complexity to the game.

Beast module
Complexity: Medium
Compatible with: Standard mode, solo mode, family mode, and up to 6-players
The Beast module adds ancient beasts to the game which provide early game goals while you search for lesson cards. Each beast will only be happy if it is near its friends and you will need to carefully position cat families around these creatures if they are to form friendships and score points.

Event module
Complexity: Hard
Compatible with: Standard mode, solo mode, and up to 6-players
The event module adds rule changing events to rounds 1 and 5, and ways to score points to rounds 2, 3, and 4. This provides another layer of challenge as you will need to adjust your strategies each round, and plan how to best use the rule changes to your advantage.”
