Islanders is a somewhat novel concept but it's definitely misleading to be marketed as a "city builder". It's a puzzle game where you place randomly generated pieces in order to improve your score. It's more akin to a tabletop board game than other colony management and city building games.

That being said the game as it is had me bored in under 10 minutes. If you're looking for something super simple to kill a few minutes playing, maybe this is the game for you.
