Description

Visions of a Shifting Future bring Fractured Days Split the Sky to Jagged Earth along with 6 Aspects for core game Spirits. More to come in the future!

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.

What’s New

Version 2.2

The third phase of Jagged Earth arrives, with Visions of a Shifting Future revealing facets of existing Spirits' natures and a new Spirit that alters time as we know it.

Fractured Days Split the Sky: A Spirit that exists mostly in the high reaches of the heavens, but touches the island now and then, time and possibility flowing around it like a wind-blown mantle.

Aspects: New ways to play familiar Spirits, portraying some facet of that Spirit’s nature more strongly or in a different fashion. Jagged Earth includes six Aspects for the four low-complexity Spirits from the base game.

No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content with your existing purchase of Jagged Earth.

Plus, this update includes various improvements and bug fixes, including:
- A new Story So Far panel shows a game log of exactly what has happened, turn by turn. During the game, you can use it to undo back entire phases at once; after the game, you can share the complete story in text form.
- Destroying X Durable Towns now lets you deal 2*X damage to any Durable Towns of your choice.
- Fixed a problem where Transform to a Murderous Darkness would not allow you to use it on certain Spirits in some situations.
- Dream of the Untouched Land can now remove both Blight and a Habsburg 4 Town at the same time.
- Using Undo after Numinous Crisis flips the blight card no longer results in gaining not enough energy and removing too much blight.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when Beasts Prey Upon the Injured resolves if Settle Into Hunting-Grounds is in effect.
- The game no longer gets stuck if you destroy the last board in Dahan Insurrection.
- Fixed a problem where the game could get out of sync in multiplayer with Russia 5+ if a power's effect caused enough additional Fear to reach an unused Invader card.
- If the Healthy Island effect of Harvest Bounty, Harvest Dust flips the Blight Card and then you undo, the Blighted Island effect of the event no longer incorrectly occurs.
- The game no longer gets stuck in multiplayer if one player uses Settle Into Hunting-Grounds while another player is in the middle of using a power that could be affected by Beasts/Badlands.
- Pact of the Joined Hunt no longer deals an incorrect amount of damage when used by Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot in certain situations.
- Fixed Creepers Tear Into Mortar incorrectly damaging multiple buildings in a land with Badlands.
- Sunset's Fire Flows Across the Land no longer automatically uses a damage boost up on the first land if there is only 1 Invader there.
- Dahan Reclaim Fishing Grounds now assumes no adjacencies for Isolate by default, and works properly with Weave Together the Fabric of Place.
- Fixed the interaction between Discord Level 3 and Badlands.
- Flee the Pestilent Land no longer pushes France 6 Explorers that were not actually going to be removed.
- Isolate now works properly with Sweden Level 5.
- Fixed problems with using the main Undo button after Heart of the Wildfire flips the Blight Card in growth.
- Ensured that Plaguebearers can move Disease to multiple lands when that is possible.
- The game no longer gets stuck in multiplayer when using Gift of Proliferation on Stone's Unyielding Defiance to place a presence that gives +1 Card Plays.
- Instruments of Their Own Ruin no longer deals an incorrect amount of damage in adjacent lands with Habsburg 6.
- Fixed the Energy gain prevention from Bargains of Power and Protection incorrectly applying to undoing a card play.
- If both Engage on their Own Terms and Words of Warning are in effect in a land, you can now choose the timing of the Dahan counterattack.
- Fixed the interaction between Let Them Break Themselves Against the Stone, Isolate, and Russia 2+.
- If all Invaders in a land have Strife, the Spirit Foresight ravage preview is now correct when Destroy the Unnatural is in effect.
- Talons of Lightning now gets its threshold range boost when played via Unlock the Gates of Deepest Power.

A decent, pleasant adaptation

I have played the original at least 25 times. I was eager to try this app and see its worth. Truth be told, if they didn’t have that 2$ pass to access everything, I would have never consider buying it. However, I am glad that I gave it a try. I did not encounter any bug and was impressed by how efficiently every card’s quirky power is handled. I had not realized how much work it would take to adapt a game like Spirit Island. They did a good job.

All in all, I recommend it. I love the board game so much that I wish we could have had an adaptation by a more professional studio like DireWolf. I would have loved to have a reworked esthetic of SI like they did for Root. Especially at the 40$ price tag asked for Spirit Island… I am glad to support a small studio, but I wish everything looked better. Perhaps they can work on that when they will have everything added in.

Same Great Game Minor Problems

Very polished and with just having recently added multiplayer to play with people online, I’m impressed. Have yet to run across a game breaking bug and the options are as endless as they are fun. The lack of a 5th star is simply do to the game not translating well to iPhone as opposed to IPad. They have come a long ways in this regard but, in specific, selecting which spirit you want to control while dual playing spirits single player is very cumbersome. Often times selecting the spirit board instead of passing growth or card choices back to the other spirit seems like an exercise in futility. In fact, when the selection does go about correctly on the first click I’m shocked. Other than that it’s a barrel of fun and replayability.

A fun game and decent digital adaption

As a physical board game, this is one of my favorite games. This digital version is quite good, and honestly my sole complaint is that when a game is won or lost it immediately jumps away from the board to an end screen "summary" and doesn't let you actually look over the final board state, look over what cards you had chosen for that spirit and how that and event cards/fear cards affected things, think about strategies for future games, etc (which is something I deeply enjoy doing when playing the physical version with friends)
