Chimera Isle
Requirements
Description
On a small island in the Pacific live strange creatures like none other. Uncharted and untouched by Man, Chimera Isle might seem a paradise. But even in paradise, the law of the jungle is absolute. Survival is a daily struggle, and only the strange survive.
The players are "Chimeras" - strange and powerful beasts the likes of which the world has never seen. Be a team player or a lone wolf, and fight for control of Chimera Isle. It's always your turn, and every choice matters!
To win you'll need to expand your territory. To expand your territory you'll need help from your friends. It's not charity, as they'll expect to share in your success!
Lose a fight - tough luck, but now's your chance to evolve and become stronger. Next time you'll win for sure!
It's just another day in Chimera Isle, where impossible creatures roam the Earth and alliances shift as often as the weather...

Chimera Isle is a little tough to break into, probably because the rules were hard to understand. It took a long time to figure out what the heck we were supposed to do, and then combined with the fac...
I really liked a lot of aspects about the game, the art, the overall theme and especially the ending point system (how it pays off to be allies). I was inspired by the simple idea of multiple winners ...
I've only played this once so far, but I'm eager to get it back to the table. The theme of the game is represented well by the mechanics, creating a fun overall experience that only gets better becaus...
Great game, nice looking game. It has nearly infinite replayability. The only thing stopping this from being a perfect 5 star game is some rule ambiguity. For example: For the commit phase it is also...
The layers of content in Chimera Isle create different avenues around which you can organize your strategy. That being said, I am still waiting for the full complement of players (5) to see what new ...
Chimera Isle has a fun, party game feel to it, but it has plenty of strategy too. There is an interesting "group-think" mechanic in the game that is seeded by the humorous depictions of the Chimeras....
