I really enjoy playing Spirit Island and highly recommend it. It's my first more complex game and it's a blast!
My favorite game is probably Cosmic Encounter, and just like Cosmic Encounter has asymmetric alien powers that change up the game every time you play, Spirit Island does the same with spirits. The game feels practically brand new with every spirit you choose. I explain the game to new players as pandemic levelled up.
My only complaint really is the complexity. It both makes it really fun but also a potential barrier to entry for some, and certainly not a game for every situation. But I have to say that regardless, I still love it. It has jumped up to one of my favorite games even though I tend to prefer competitive games.
Tried a friend's copy and had to pick it up. Just liked the ease and fun of puzzling out the mancala to build and crusade for victory points!
The production quality even on the standard edition is top notch. Was happy to pick it up before they were all gone.
This is one of the challenging final girl I have played so far. I do enjoy it
Great addition to the game.
Two of my new favorite heroes too
