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.
Spirit Island includes:
• Free access to unlimited plays of the tutorial game
• Create custom games of up to 4 spirits and play 5 full turns
• 4 Spirits available for custom games: Lightning’s Swift Strike, River Surges in Sunlight, Shadows Flicker Like Flame, and Vital Strength of the Earth
• 36 Minor Power cards that enhance the abilities of your Spirits
• 22 Major Power cards with more powerful effects to devastate the Invaders
• A modular island, made up of 4 balanced island boards, for a variety of layouts
• Thematic island boards that reflect the canonical island and provide a new challenge
• 15 Invader cards driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
• 2 Blight cards with challenging effects as the Invaders blight the Island
• 15 Fear cards with beneficial effects, earned as you terrify the Invaders
Every rule & interaction in the game has been carefully adapted and thoroughly tested by expert Spirit Island players, as well as the designer himself. If you’re wondering how a certain situation works in Spirit Island, this game is the ultimate rules lawyer!
Features:
• Original dynamic music composed by Jean-Marc Giffin brings Spirit Island to life. Each Spirit has unique musical elements that wax and wane as the game progresses.
• 3D Textured maps bring a realistic look and isometric perspective to the Island.
• 3D Classic maps present the Island the way it looks on the tabletop.
• 2D Classic maps provide a simplified top-down option for all you number crunchers out there.
When you are ready for more, choose the best option for your budget to unlock the full game!

• Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares - Strike fear into the hearts of the Invaders!
• Heart of the Wildfire - Burn everything in your path, and heal the land with time.

• Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island - Absorb presence and rise up with immense power!
• A Spread of Rampant Green - Entangle the Invaders with unstoppable growth.

User reviews
Great game, hopefully they implement UI changes to let this work on smaller screens. Currently it is tough to read the text on anything other than a tablet.
Nailed it! This is easily the best board to app conversion I have played to date. To be clear, nothing comes close. This app is worth it, at whatever tier you buy in. There is free, which gives you the full game and basic spirits (4) OR very reasonable monthly subscription with all access OR a flat fee of $20. Steep...
My favorite board game on tablet. Great port. I have all the handelabra games and enjoy them.
I love the board game, but with three cats it's difficult to have sprawling games on the table. This allows me to play the game without having to encroach on my cats' space! Glad I bought this, and I'm looking forward to them hopefully incorporating the expansions and promo packs.
