About
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.
In Spirit Island, players choose between 1-4 Spirits to control. The number of Spirits determines the size of the island:

8 different Spirits, each with 4 Power cards unique to that Spirit
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
3 multi-tier Adversaries (specific Invaders) for play variety and fine-tuned challenge: Brandenburg-Prussia, England, and Sweden
4 optional Scenarios for even more play variety
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!
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.

i play the tabletop vers with my frinds and we though why not own the pc version as well. BOY IS IT HARDER we realised IRL we skipped over rules by accidents or skiped over explorations or even misread some cards! the games does the thinking for us and it leaves 0 space for accidental cheating or even 0 wiggle room for error. god we are glad the undo button exist, the amount of time we went through a growth phase misreading our cards and realising ''woops i can't play that.'' is ALOT. we also found it was a shame the best cards are in the DLCs....
Phenomenal board game and this is is an excellent adaptation. 10/10 Get everything during sale tho, or play on the mobile app ($3 subscription per month for full content)
it is honestly quite a fun great, though one word of caution - all of the DLC are FAR too expensvie, in my personal opinion. my understanding is that this game already exists as a board game, and while the base game is only 25 bucks (often reduced to just 5) all the DLC are similarly priced to the base game BUT never reduced to such a low level as the base game is. it is (in my opinion) very difficult and you might (like me) struggle to win even without an adversary
Digital version of the game is nigh unplayable for the difficulty of it.
The game helps me determine the rules for IRL games
ich würde mir das Speil sofort kaufen , auch zum Normal Preis ABER ohne deutsche Sprache ist das für mich total uninteressant. Ich will keine leeren Versprechungen lesen weil das spiel in anderen sprachen anzubieten wurde schon sehr lange gewünscht aber nichts wurde getan. BITTE MEHR SPRACHEN
Wenn das Spiel auf deutsch übersetzt wird, so werde ich weitere Inhalte kaufen.
The IRL version will always be more fun ofcause... but the interface of this game is so infuriating! every special rule or action that has to be chosen is SO confusing when it is not stated on the screen what is actually happening! I spend WAY too long trying to figure out what the hell im being asked to choose, when the game wants me to push a beast token that BARELY lights up while the rest of the game becomes unclickable and there is NO TOOLTIP helping me! I have 100 hours in the IRL version, so I have a good grasp on the game mechanics, but the interface is one of the worst ive ever experienced.
Eu AMO esse jogo!! Sério, se vc curte Boardgames, e jogar solo? esse jogo é perfeito... Ainda mais agora com as expansões em promoção. A melhor parte? Da pra jogar cooperativo também, até 4 pessoas (6 com expansão). Cada espirito joga de certa forma bem diferente, e a rejogabilidade é bem alta, expandindo ainda mais com as DLCs! Apesar das minhas horas, eu praticamente só joguei partidas solo/coop na dificuldade 0... Ainda tem adversários e cenários diversos pra escolher. Resumão: COMPRE!
I love spirit island, really good port of the boardgame
