Spirit Island is a cooperative game where players embody spirits defending their island from colonisers. Using elemental powers, they must drive invaders out before it’s too late.
Spirit Island is a complex and thematic co-operative game about defending your Island home from colonising 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. However, 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 new power, or to spread their presence into new areas of the island.
The game contains an array of Spirits – eight in the base game, two in the Branch & Claw expansion, 10 in the Jagged Earth expansion, and two “Promo Packs” with two additional Spirits in each (The content from both “Promo Packs” was released in 2022 as the third expansion Feather and Flame) – for players to choose from. Players can select any combination of Spirits, and each has unique abilities and ways of being played.
