Spirit Island is a complex and thematic cooperative game about defending your island home from colonizing Invaders. Players are different spirits of the land, each with its own unique elemental powers. Every turn, players simultaneously choose which of their power cards to play, paying energy to do so. Using combinations of power cards that match a spirit’s elemental affinities can grant free bonus effects. Faster powers take effect immediately, before the Invaders spread and ravage, but other magics are slower, requiring forethought and planning to use effectively. In the Spirit phase, spirits gain energy, and choose how / whether to Grow: to reclaim used power cards, to seek for new power, or to spread presence into new areas of the island.

“Spirit Island is a tenacious and taxing experience that turns the traditional colonial/resource exploitation theme on its head, showing indigenous people fighting back. Its ideas and its approach are very welcome, earning it many hours on my table the last few weeks” – Shut up & Sit down

“A great strategic game with less than ideal instructions and a possible Achilles heel for AP.” – Boardgamequest

“This is a wonderful game. Generous in its content, difficult to master, but not frustrating. It wants you to play it, to experiment, to combine spirits and powers together in unusual ways, just to see what happens.” – There will be games
