Isle Ink: Daily Island Puzzle

A daily island roll-and-write puzzle with card choices, careful placement, and offline play.

Each run turns a calm 9x9 sea into a compact puzzle of choices, coastlines, and careful placement. You have 27 moves across three rounds, with portrait play designed for one hand.

On every move, you are dealt two cards and keep one. Each card pairs one of seven terrain types with a row, column, or 3x3 block. You then tap any empty cell in that zone to place the terrain.

At the end of each round, you draw one island outline by tapping or dragging cells. You draw three islands in a run, using one shared budget of 24 ink for all their border segments. Islands cannot touch, so every bit of coast matters.

Each terrain asks for a different plan. A tree gains +1 for each adjacent tree, while a house gains +1 for each different terrain type next to it. A church gains +1 for each house on its island, but scores 0 if two or more churches share that island. A mountain gains +2 for each adjacent tree, and a beach gains +1 for each side touching the island border. A wave gains +2 outside every island. A boat gains +2 when it is at sea and within 9 cells of an island. A land piece left at sea, or a sea piece trapped inside an island, scores 0 and receives a -1 penalty.

Play with no account and no sign-up. Your runs, records, and settings stay on your device, and the game keeps no server of its own. It is free to play with a full-screen ad after some runs, so serving those ads sends device and advertising identifiers to Google. One optional one-off purchase permanently removes all ads, and after that the game makes no ad request at all.
