What this is
In Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King, players build their kingdom as Chieftain one tile at a time and rule all of Scotland. Each turn, each player places two area tiles in front of them and sets the selling price for the tiles. In the end, the player with the best kingdom — and not the richest player — becomes the sovereign of the island.
