Spirit Island is a cooperative fantasy wargame in which players take one the role of supernatural beings – spirits of nature – who seek to reclaim the land from would-be invaders, and strike fear into the hearts of all those who oppose your might. It's a concept that will appeal to fans of eldritch horror and nature lovers alike, but with deep and intense strategy it'll take no small amount of brain power to push back against your foes. Fans of the best board games, roll up; this is a worthy challenge.
While the ethereal artwork nods in a gentler direction, Spirit Island is a brutal board game. One that will have the tactically-minded scratching their heads, and coming back again and again to test out new spirits, strategies, and map layouts. The game puts some incredible twists on area control mechanics, nodding to big names like Risk and many other popular titles, while remaining unique and in its approach to war gaming.
