Spirit Island – The Land Fights Back 🌿⚡

You are not settlers building an empire – you are the ancient spirits of the land. Spirit Island by R. Eric Reuss (Greater Than Games) is an award-winning cooperative strategy game for 1–4 players aged 14+, set in an alternate-history world.

Colonising Invaders are exploring your island, building towns and cities and spreading Blight wherever they go. Each player takes on a different spirit with its own elemental powers, and together you defend your home. Work with the Dahan, the island's native people, grow your presence across the land and gather energy to play powerful cards. The Invaders follow an engine of their own: they explore, build and ravage in a predictable order, so you can plan your moves ahead and strike where it matters. Every spirit plays very differently – Lightning's Swift Strike acts fast, while Vital Strength of the Earth is slow but sturdy – and the box offers spirits from low to high complexity. As the Invaders grow afraid, you can win before the island is fully cleared. Want a harder game? Add one of the adversaries or scenarios. You can also play alone with the solo rules. It is a deep, complex area-control game that rewards teamwork and clever planning.
