Read the full game description
Toriki: The Castaway Island is a cooperative family adventure played as a six-to-eight-hour campaign that can be paused between short sessions. The players are young members of a nineteenth-century scientific expedition, stranded before they can properly reach the island. Each day brings new missions through the companion app, then every character takes turns moving across the physical hex map, gathering food and resources, scanning locations, and deciding which mysteries to pursue. Cards, diary entries, map modules, stickers, and a wildlife catalog emerge as discoveries are made, letting the tabletop grow with the story. Exploration is forgiving—there are no character deaths or dead ends—but the group’s final score reflects completed missions, species recorded, and coins found. Only one device with a camera is needed, and after downloading the free app the campaign works offline. Toriki balances genuine discovery with approachable decisions, making it especially well suited to families who want one shared story across several evenings.
