Spirit Island is a complex and thematic
cooperative game about defending your island home from colonizing
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, but other magics are slower, requiring forethought and
planning to use effectively.
Spirit Island won the Board Game Quest Awards
for Best Coop Game in 2017.
