Can't Beat Spirit Island? Hints and tips to get that first win

Hopefully this video will give you some broad but not overly prescriptive tips to help you get that first win! * * * * Full link for semi commonly misplayed rules: https://querki.net/u/darker/spirit-is...

Find out more about Spirit Island! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1...   / spiritisland   Which version to get – physical or digital? I love both. For me the digital version is great for high difficulty challenges, as the rules are enforced for you. And it's easy to record too! The physical game is great for getting away from screens and for playing fanmade content and houserules as well as all the existing content to date. (Here in August 2021, Jagged Earth has not yet been added to the digital version.) 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. * * * * 00:00 intro 00:33 rules things 02:58 about power progression decks 03:38 strategy portion begins 06:39 best bit of video 09:15 a tedious series of CTAs enlivened with light wit * * * * Spirit Island EARTH ⛰️🌱 Overexplained: Difficulty 0, B&C 🆕 Newer Players #SpiritIsland #SpiritIslandDigital #Boardgames
