Tiny Islands (2019)
**** Hold the spacebar or the mouse button to speed up the scoring phase! ****
Tiny Islands is a digital roll-&-write game that uses cards instead of dice for generating the random items you get to draw.
Turn the cards over and pick what and where you want to draw the items to create your own islands.
Mouse over the images on the cards to get a reminder of how each feature works.
Share a picture of your tiny islands along with your score with #MyTinyIslands and compare with other players.

Love this little game. Only wish I could have is some sort of seed generator/seed sync, so my friends and I can compete on the same puzzle without doing the daily puzzle over and over. Not any kind of real multiplayer, just like watching each other on discord and competing the scores.
That's an awesome idea. What would it take to add this feature?
god damn, this game is addictive! And good, it´s really , really good.
Also quite pleased with myself for scoring 70 points :)
Very nice game mechanics!
current highscore: 55
EDIT: 58, 14p from EIGHT forests, thats crazy
EDIT2: 63p
I just can't stop ! Love to see the islands unfold.
Loved this game so much that it inspired me to remix it with a new theme and couple new mechanics - https://ghana7.itch.io/codex-minimus
Building one of my own really made me appreciate how tight you were able to keep the balance while using only very small numbers - only 1s and 2s. There's such a nice push and pull between all seven elements and each choice really feels like a choice!
This game helped me to realise that church benefits from people twice as more as vice versa.
This post is more useful to me than you'd imagine - I'm going to embed it into my teaching on mechanics and meanings.
The ideal house
66 New record
praise mountains tbh
Still a lovely game
Trees are OP
this is one the daily challange
I love this game so much, but i have a question: have you tried to create the board game (probably PnP version) from it?
Hmmm, this seems like a bug...No way to end the game...
There either needs to be a check for this at the end or a way to exit without a third island.
You can draw islands "inside" islands creating "lakes", it's not universal solution, but you coud draw two of them - one on the top island, near the church and mountain, and one on the bottom island, between mountain and house.
But you certainly drawn yourself a pickle, nice job
Hi, I am very interested in this game and I want to show it in a game showcase I am going to curate on Jan 5th at Wonderville NYC! The show is named "Elemental Chaos" and I would like to take a lot of photos and send them to you after!
Please let me know if you would be comfortable showing your game. Thank you very much.
Sorry for the slow response. Sure you can show it at your event.

Day 1 (18/9/23): 52
SImple and addictive! Got a 68 after a few tries. Please consider expanding this somehow, I think it has a lot of potential!
This game is super cute and fun! The rules feel like a lot to absorb at first, but after I absorbed them it was super easy to just keep doing one game after another.
Got 50 this time!
Love this game!
Finally broke 61 pts.
Make this game downloadable.
Love this game!
Love this game, though I think there's a bug. It's hard for me to draw something or draw a line on the top right corner, especially on the 2nd box from the top.
Finally broke 60.
This is really fun once you get the hang of it!
its very calming to play, and a very clean design
43 first try
yes it is played, yes it is awesome, yes it is relaxing
thank you
Beat my own best score. Didn't realise I was on such a good one till it tallied up!
Great concept and incredibly addictive. Would love to see some sound effects/ambience added in the future
