The shipwreck that brought you to this island is not the end of your troubles. The storms that hit this area are not natural. To survive, you must first solve the mystery of this island... The Secret of Storm Island is the first story campaign and expansion for Island Alone. To succeed, players throughout the game must complete the tasks on the campaign cards before the final storm occurs. This expansion includes a new map for "Storm Island" consisting of 6 parts, new character cards, a goals card, and 9 new campaign objective cards. The expansion follows classic gameplay but introduces a few changes and new rules. Instead of one scenario, players complete the objectives from the campaign cards starting with card #1. Game length is determined by the storm time designated on the objective card.
