Description
Island Siege is a card game of colonization in the West Indies. Players build forts using building stones from their supply, then move colonists in each turn to populate it. Colonists in turn build buildings and ships, which then house the colonists. Buildings provide players with special abilities, while ships are sent to lay siege to the opponent’s forts.
The goal is for players to get all of their colonists into play on their forts, buildings and ships. Be careful, though, whenever a fort is destroyed by an opponent’s fleet all of its colonists, and the colonists of buildings behind the fort are removed from play! Alternately, players may win by earning 20 gold from building. Winning requires a keen balance of building and laying an Island Siege!
This second edition contains five expansions!
- Ramparts extra ships, forts and building cards
- Coquina cards and stones
- Monuments boards
- Captains cards
- Ghost Captain solo rules and components
”My favorite two-player game, and it's also a great 3-4 player game. In fact, I'd say it's better as a 4-player game!"

Need a second set of dice? Or do you have the first edition stickered dice and want to upgrade?
The rules suggest expansions. And planned or were printed?
Sorry no, not yet. It is something we’re looking at, though.
Bought this game used, its very fun. Also a quick game. Great to play with the family. My only problem is that its only 2 players, an expansion would be quite nice that allows more players and adds a few new elements. Will continue to play in the future.
