Description

Jagged Earth is now complete: Growth Begets Growth brings a build-your-own-Spirit along with 5-6 player support!

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 2.8.1

This update has several improvements and bug fixes, including:
- Added new ways to sort Spirits on the New Game screen. Sort by most played to find your favorites quickly; by least played to try a less familiar Spirit; or customize the ordering exactly to your liking by drag and drop.
- Six and seven board layouts now fit on all screens during New Game setup.
- Using Boon of Reimagining on Fractured Days Splits the Sky no longer leads to UI glitches.
- Fixed an issue where Starlight Seeks Its Form could undo moving presence after dealing damage with its growth option in a land, and the damage is not properly undone.
- Fixed an issue when playing with Starlight Seeks its Form, the Presence Panel of Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island could have a distinct visual glitch.
- The game no longer gets stuck if Gather the Scattered Light of Stars is used and there are no Unique powers that can be forgotten when Time Passes.
- Visions of a Shifting Future can no longer move the Stage III Invader Card specially placed by Brandenburg-Prussia to the bottom of the Invader Deck.
- Grant Hatred a Ravenous Form now gains the damage bonus from Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot's Territorial Aggression special rule properly.
- If Spreading Wilds is used on a land with no Explorers under the effect of Observe the Ever-Changing World, and only adds a Wilds token, it now triggers Preparing an Element Marker as it should.
- Fixed an issue where Pillar of Living Flame could behave incorrectly when used multiple times in the same game.
- When Dream of the Untouched Land adds a new board, Powers can now immediately target a land on the new board using a source land from an existing board.
- Dream of the Untouched Land no longer gets stuck adding a new board to an Archipelago island if you have a Power Card from Aid From Lesser Spirits.
- Fixed an issue when rearranging 5 or 6 boards, a layout issue could occur where boards are incorrectly overlapping.
- Navigating through Spirits very quickly in the card library will no longer result in the background image failing to load.
- Swallowed by the Wilderness will now deal enough damage in all situations.
- Fixed an issue where Talons of Lightning could get stuck in multiplayer when used as a set-aside power in Second Wave.
- Dahan Insurrection no longer fails to end the game properly if you trigger both Coordinated Insurrection and the additional loss condition in the same Action.
- Swallowed by the Wilderness no longer adds extra damage when using a Spirit's presence affected by Settle into Hunting Grounds.
- Fixed issue in which Sweden Level 5 could still add a Town even if the Ravaged land is Isolated.
- Fixed an achievement issue where reaching elemental thresholds that Repeat a Power were not counted for achievements if they were reached using Element Markers (by Shifting Memory of Ages).
- Dragging to rearrange a Spirit summary panel when it (or the one dropped on) has a Reclaim 1 no longer causes the game to get stuck.
- Ward the Shores now properly considers lands under the effect of Absolute Stasis for its victory condition check.
- If Cast Down Into the Briny Deep disconnects the island, playing a Second Wave game now requires you to revert the island to avoid an unplayable situation.
- Fixed an incorrect interaction between Starlight Seeks Its Form growth undo and Bargains of Power and Protection.
- Fixed a situation where stacked invader cards were resolved in the incorrect order.
- While Ocean in Play is in effect, and Weave Together the Fabric of Place expires, separating a combined ocean and land, Presence can now move properly to either land.
- Fixed a problem where Seek Safety (Level 2) would not allow you to gather a Town into a land with City in some cases.
- The Struggles of Growth (Leave Behind option) no longer allows you to move the same Presence twice.
- Improved how Invaders Surge Inland works with Isolate so you do not have to enable the adjacency prompt.

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)
