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.

Wonderful port of the board game. Excellent for solo play. Had a few issues with multiplayer but was normally able to make it work. If you are not sure the subscription is an amazing way to unlock everything, though I still think just playing the base game a few time to learn early is optimal. It is a cooperative game so understand that going into multiplayer.

edit: offline okay seems to be fixed. Great game, controls are a bit finiky on the small screen but okay. The key problem is that there is no offline play which is really poor implementation. Would change to 5 stars if this was fixed but considering this is a deliberate choice and many people, myself included, would like to play offline (eg on a plane, overseas, going rural), this is a pretty unacceptable issue.

love this game! I play the physical game for the most part, but the digital app is great for trying out aspects or combos I haven't tried yet. Wonderful! Edit: I had originally thought undo was only possible as a difficulty modifier that locked me out of standings and achievements, but after the developer response below, I found out I was completely wrong. so glad, and I feel a little silly for not ever having checked the game without that undo option on before.

Hi, thanks for playing! The undo button does not prevent stats or achievements. It sounds like you are referring to unlimited undo, which allows you to undo after revealing new information (which would be considered cheating by most players). If you use the regular undo button, those things are available. Hope that helps!

What’s new

If you're not careful, there are certain places on the Island you can inadvertently find your way into. In these places, the branches and leaves entangle you, strange growls and hisses encircle you, and a cold mist seeps around you, bringing a chill down your spine. When you are Smothered and Surrounded, you won't find your way out.. The 5th phase of Nature Incarnate content is now available with a new Spirit and 3 Aspects for existing Spirits.
