Rather than overwhelming players with complicated economies and resource management, Isles of Innsmouth keeps its city-building mechanics simple. Players will place buildings from available cards, expand their settlements, and discover useful synergies between different structures to increase their scores. The game features more than 60 different structures, each offering new possibilities for creative layouts and scoring combinations. For those who would rather build without worrying about points, Isles of Innsmouth includes a Creative Sandbox Mode. With its unusual mix of relaxing city-building and Lovecraftian horror, Isles of Innsmouth could offer a refreshing take on the genre when it arrives in 2027.
