About this game

In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.

Spirit Island is a cooperative settler-destruction strategy game designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players become different Spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Your Spirits work with the native Dahan to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.

Spirit Island includes:
• Free access to unlimited plays of the tutorial game
• Create custom games with up to 4 available spirits and play 5 full turns
• 36 Minor Power cards that enhance the abilities of your Spirits
• 22 Major Power cards with more powerful effects to devastate the Invaders
• A modular island, made up of 4 balanced island boards, for a variety of layouts
• Thematic island boards that reflect the canonical island and provide a new challenge
• 15 Invader cards driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
• 2 Blight cards with challenging effects as the Invaders blight the Island
• 15 Fear cards with beneficial effects, earned as you terrify the Invaders

Every rule & interaction in the game has been carefully adapted and thoroughly tested by expert Spirit Island players, as well as the designer himself. If you’re wondering how a certain situation works in Spirit Island, this game is the ultimate rules lawyer!

Features:
• Original dynamic music composed by Jean-Marc Giffin brings Spirit Island to life. Each Spirit has unique musical elements that wax and wane as the game progresses.
• 3D Textured maps bring a realistic look and isometric perspective to the Island.
• 3D Classic maps present the Island the way it looks on the tabletop.
• 2D Classic maps provide a simplified top-down option for all you number crunchers out there.

My favorite board game, port done very well. The pricing is decent and this is by far the best way to play spirit island solo. I have yet to test multiplayet functionality, but it keeps getting regular improvements. The only bad thing is it doesn't have as much content as the tabletop version but again, new content keeps getting added.

This is a digital port to a board game. If I were to rate the boardgame, 5/5. Digital port 3/5. 1) As others mentioned this is NOT usable without paying a rather steep price . The demo is not at all useful with a 5 turn limit. Also, after you buy the base game, there is MORE content to buy. 2) The UI needs work. The font is SO small and not adjustable. There is so much unused space, and they make cards and fonts too small with no settings adjustment. Almost unusable even on a tablet.

Hi, thanks for playing! You can double tap any card to view it in full, and tap again to zoom in further. Hope that helps!

Such a good game, and the devs have done an amazing job making a digital copy. I play the digital version regularly with my partner in two player and then monthly games with a group of six with the physical version. It's the best! They are super onto updates and bug fixes, so most issues the game had on release are pretty much gone. Give it a go!
