Gateway Island contains 21 beautifully illustrated jumbo cards and other game components like cubes, disks, a die, and everything you need inside of a portable box that can be taken anywhere. It includes a rulebook to cover the rules for all 21 games and also a Supplemental Book that teaches new board gamers a glossary of terms they may hear, or components they may run across. Lastly, and perhaps best of all, after playing a game, the rulebook will recommend 1 or 2 new games for you to try if you liked the mini game!
