Food Chain Island is the first game in the Button Shy Simply Solo series. These are games that are one player only, light on rules, and big on replayability.  

On this forgotten island in a tiny corner of the ocean the animals are hungry! Your goal is to influence the wildlife - and arrange their meals - so there is only one animal left!

In Food Chain Island, you will take as many turns as possible with a goal of only having one land animal card left on the table after starting with a grid of 16. On each turn, you must move one animal to eat another smaller, adjacent animal. If you cannot move an animal to eat another, the game ends.

    William ★★★★★

    First game in this solo-only series and it fits my lunch break perfectly. The way predator cards eat prey to reveal new ones keeps each round fresh. Already planning my third play.

    Carter ★★★★★

    I was surprised how much strategy fits into just 18 cards, the way animals chain together feels really satisfying. It’s become my go-to for a quick mental break during lunch.

    Adam Y. ★★★★☆

    Played a dozen solo rounds my first night and the puzzle holds up better than I expected for only eighteen cards. The rulebook is tiny so I had to reread the stacking restriction once, but once it clicked the whole thing moves fast. Great little thing to toss in a bag for a coffee shop.
