About Spirit Island
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 of up to 4 spirits and play 5 full turns
• 4 Spirits available for custom games: Lightning’s Swift Strike, River Surges in Sunlight, Shadows Flicker Like Flame, and Vital Strength of the Earth
• 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.
When you are ready for more, choose the best option for your budget to unlock the full game!
Get access to 6 additional Spirits, each with 4 unique Power cards:
• Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares - Strike fear into the hearts of the Invaders!
• Heart of the Wildfire - Burn everything in your path, and heal the land with time.
• Ocean's Hungry Grasp - Drown the Invaders with the power of the sea.
• Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island - Absorb presence and rise up with immense power!
• A Spread of Rampant Green - Entangle the Invaders with unstoppable growth.
• Thunderspeaker - Join forces with the Dahan to wreak havoc on the Invaders.
Face 3 multi-tier Adversaries (specific Invaders) for play variety and fine-tuned challenge: Brandenburg-Prussa, England & Sweden.
Explore 4 optional Scenarios for even more play variety: Blitz, Dahan Insurrection, Guard the Isle's Heart, & Rituals of Terror.

Great digital adaptation
Dec 23, 2020 Spirit Island is easily my favorite co-op board game, and this is a great way to play solo without the setup and teardown and adds rule enforcement (digital versions are great to learn rule intricacies). Game plays very smoothly, and the UI is well designed. Even the base game prior to expansions has lots of variety and branch & claw and jagged earth will make that even better when released. The purchase model is great as well - free is enough to get the feet wet and understand the game basics prior to buying the full game. Late game with four spirits crowds the screen when lots of powers are played and could be nice to lay out the power card by spirit one at a time similar to the growth stage to make it easier to see the map, and multi-player would be a welcome addition.more -
Feb 7, 2021 This is a great adaptation of an excellent board game. It's still early days, so there's some features not here yet, that I'm hoping are coming soon - online multiplayer, and expansion content. The core game (plus promo pack 1) are here, and play excellently.more -
Finally, a true solo SI experience!
Dec 19, 2020 I have never played this board game but heard they were porting this into a solo digital app, so I got it as soon as I saw it pop up. Tutorial is fantastically smooth, and gives enough information at the right time so as to not overwhelm new players. I also like that they give some strategy reasoning in the tutorial as well. Sounds, UI and overall game flow is smooth and the gameplay is seriously fun. Thank you to the entire team for the work you all put into this!more -
Dec 23, 2020 Nailed it! This is easily the best board to app conversion I have played to date. To be clear, nothing comes close. This app is worth it, at whatever tier you buy in. There is free, which gives you the full game and basic spirits (4) OR very reasonable monthly subscription with all access OR a flat fee of $20. Steep however there is so much game! Intuative interface, option to take back moves (keepin it real here) and no major bugs so far. And available on chromebooks! My Xmas gift to me.more -
Incredible Game
Dec 17, 2020 One of the best board games to date, and this implementation of it is great! Only (obvious) comment: please add multiplayer!
-
Dec 20, 2020 Absurd pricing, what is it with lazy board game adaptions asking for 4x the price of a video game that has 10x the content? -
Feb 1, 2021 tl;dr: don't bother installing unless you plan to spend the full $20 right now. Seemed perfect, right up until everything ground to a halt mid game until I payed money. Considering that most of the spirits are locked behind the paywall anyway, I assumed that I could play a couple of games using the "free" spirits before deciding on whether or not to buy the full version. Nope! Not even 1 game.more

Dec 22, 2020 I own it on PC already - I would have forked over $10 bucks to support the game but $20 sticker shocked me out of it. I did buy Aeon's End (and ODD) twice, mostly for the love since I can't actually play either of these games on my phone, absurdly tablet-onlymore -
Dec 29, 2020 The board game is fantastic and the app seems to be well-designed, but it's a bit pricey for what it is. The fact that you can't even play a full game without paying $20 is a huge disappointment and nowhere near in line with comparable board game app pricing. This game badly needs a different monetization structure. I'll stick to the board game that I already spent a ton of money on, thanks.more -
Jan 31, 2021 Good game but a little complicated and overwhelming for a new player. The game does have a tutorial and explains everything well.

Cooperative solitaire?
Dec 17, 2020 I was excited to see this great cooperative board game become an app. But having played the tutorial, I now see that it’s 1-4 Spirits, NOT 1-4 players. Hardly a cooperative game when it’s solo. It really needs the ability to play online with others.more

What’s Groovy
It is rather well implemented version of the game and love that you can undo things to help with the learning curve. However, you cannot even finish a trial game without paying. You can learn about it, you can play a few rounds, but you cannot even finish a game. I would suggest the developers allow the basic experience and paywall yourself up to unlock more spirits/adversaries. I would have preferred to see you ask me for $19.99 before downloading.

What’s Subpar
Just no. Love the board game, not paying a subscription now or ever.

I love the board game, but with three cats it's difficult to have sprawling games on the table. This allows me to play the game without having to encroach on my cats' space! Glad I bought this, and I'm looking forward to them hopefully incorporating the expansions and promo packs.

AWESOME ADAPTATION!
Haven’t encountered any issues. Gameplay is seamless and perfect for solo play! -
Great game, hopefully they implement UI changes to let this work on smaller screens. Currently it is tough to read the text on anything other than a tablet.
