What's New in Desert Island Draft
1.12
October 7, 2026
Beginner skills pull their weight. A smart draft and three of them will carry you further than ever. But the island bites back. Sharks and wild boars leave wounds that cost you days, and a typhoon will test every wall you built. New to the draft? Tap the ? to see what every symbol on a card means. Fresh art for Cold Shore and The Lane, and a round of card balance: the golf clubs, the crab pots and the coffin all play differently.
