The game has been removed from its original shrink wrap but has never been played. It contains all components.

"In the middle of the seas and time lies a mysterious island. Legend says that a mythical citadel rises from its heart, hiding an ancient tree that bears the fruit of fulfilled wishes. However, this miraculous treasure is guarded by the island's ruler, a sinister curse, and dangerous specters wandering the depths of the island's forests—the Guardians. A ship approaches. A group of adventurers determined to claim the treasure steps onto the beach. To succeed, they must explore the mysterious island, collect and use magical flowers, fight the Guardians, compete, and cooperate. They must move quickly, though; if they fail before sunset, the curse will consume them entirely and turn them into mindless servants of the island's ruler—into more Guardians."

Insula is a game for 2-5 players that lasts less than an hour. It features an interesting blend of competitive and cooperative gameplay. You play as a group of adventurers who have decided to explore the mysterious island of Insula. Your ship has landed on the beach, and your goal is to reach the citadel deep inland, guarded by the island's ruler, Kingoš, and claim his legendary treasure.

The game has many possible endings. You can win by defeating Kingoš and claiming the fruits of fulfilled wishes from the ancient tree. The island's ruler can also win, turning you all into more Guardians wandering the island soullessly. The Dark Lord benefits from your rivalry, which he cleverly exploits using a curse system. Sometimes it is better to combine your abilities during the game and at its end—then multiple players can win at once (which is better than wandering in the darkness, though it doesn't sound as good in the heroic tales told about you if you win alone).

The game is available in two versions: a classic box version and a travel version in a practical fabric bag. The game components are nearly identical (smaller black-and-white rules, monochrome energy tokens, cardboard Guardian tokens, and a player card split into multiple components to fit in the bag).

The game is in English.
