How can we Spirits drive the invaders back to their boats and off our island? We must grow, change, and find new paths - if we stay as we are, we shall die, and the Island with us. Bring forth the natural chaos, and let our new ways be of both Branch and Claw! We shall summon predators from the heart of the island, wilds from every patch of ground, illness from the twisting mists, and turn the hearts and minds of the invaders against one another. More Spirits answer the call, but the invaders redouble their efforts. Can you stop them in time?
New Feature: Spirit Foresight
The Invaders spread at an appalling speed, but if you focus, you can anticipate the results of their current activity. This foresight is not certain; unexpected turns of events do happen, and fear-crazed humans are difficult to predict. However, it can be useful as an indicator of what will come to pass absent chance or further intervention on your part. To access Spirit Foresight, click the new button on the right side of the screen. You can also tap the tab key to toggle Spirit Foresight on and off, or hold the tab key down to use it for a short while.
While Spirit Foresight is active, you can see an overall summary of what would happen in the next Ravage and Build steps, if they were to occur immediately. Hover over a land to view a popup of the land contents and a Ravage/Build preview for that land in particular. Click on a land to view a detailed display of all the pieces in the land, and interact with pieces for Push, Gather, Damage, movement, and other selections.

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 islanders to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.
In Spirit Island, players choose between 1-4 spirits to control. The number of spirits determines the size of the island:

- 8 different Spirits, each with 4 Powers unique to that Spirit
- Over 50 distinct Major and Minor Powers which Spirits can grow into
- A modular island, made up of 4 modular Boards, for a variety of layouts
- 15 Invader cards, driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
- 15 Fear cards, showing what happens as you terrify the Invader
- 3 multi-tier Adversaries (specific Invaders) for play variety and fine-tuned challenge: England, Brandenburg-Prussia, and Sweden
- 4 optional Scenarios for even more play variety
