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.

I got this game specifically so that I could play on an overseas trip. However, I didn't realize that it doesn't actually have an offline mode. With the $2/month subscription method, it locks you out without internet connection, which means I was extremely disappointed when I tried to play it. As other reviews have suggested, please make it like Spotify where it gives you 4 weeks of playing offline with full access before locking you out. I don't even know if buying it outright fixes this issue

The only negative here is the price. It is a lot, but the content you get for that is a LOT as well. If you like the game, it has pretty unlimited replayability. The implementation on smaller screens is pretty good. I can play it on my phone without much problem, but find it easier on the eyes to play on bluestacks or a tablet. It is great to have the option to play it on the phone though and it is very playable. Just got the physical game as well and I find that a few rounds of pass and play with a tablet at the table can help to teach it to video game oriented people. I wish tracking elemental symbols was this easy on the boardgame! On the flip side, I still prefer the physical game when I have time. It is easier to keep an eye on everything at once, and I don't have the cards memorized yet. That is my one complaint with the UI is that best I can tell it takes a few clicks to view my whole hand of cards at once. I wish I could drag up from the bottom to pull up a tray of enlarged cards. Great implementation of a really fun game!

Its a decent adaptation of the board game. My problem is the expense is HIGH. Even worse, the structure of their payment (in app vs Google play store) means I can't share the game with my children (the entire reason I wanted to buy the game on Android). It would cost me $36 + tax just to get the game on two phones, let alone more than one child. Honestly, it feels like they took the hated micro transactions of video games and shoved them into the board game.

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.

This update has several fixes and improvements.
