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.

This app does an excellent job of translating the physical game to a digital form. Information is presented clearly despite the limited room available on a phone screen, and I can't remember the last time the game misinterpreted my touches despite my big fingers. The devs are also quick to address bugs and issues. The only thing stopping me from 5 stars is the lack of options in quick play. I'd like to be able to disable scenarios or thematic boards while still getting a random setup.

My favorite board game, port done very well. The pricing is decent and this is by far the best way to play spirit island solo. I have yet to test multiplayet functionality, but it keeps getting regular improvements. The only bad thing is it doesn't have as much content as the tabletop version but again, new content keeps getting added.

Having skipped the rather long (and slow tutorial), in which you can only go forwards, not backwards, I started a game to find I didn't know how to use innate powers. Information on that was virtually non-existent. Finding how to access the tutorial again is impossible too. And undos seem to undo everything you've done so far. So I'm considering uninstalling and reinstalling. The base board game has more variety in there too. Not too impressed so far, but if I make it through the tutorial...
