From BoardGameGeek

Gateway Island is your Introduction to Board Games! Featuring 21 different games and a variety of game mechanics, Gateway Island is just the game you need to introduce friends to the world of board gaming. The simple and accessible rules are quick and easy to learn. Find out if you (and your friends) like drafting, worker placement, bluffing, racing, party games, dungeon crawlers, and much, much, more! 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! Featuring over 30 game recommendations from a variety of publishers, you'll know exactly what games to add to your collection next based on the fun you had with Gateway Island!
