About this deal

Feather and Flame includes two new scenarios. Adding a scenario to your games is pretty simple as all rules needed for the scenario are listed on the scenario card itself. If you have never played a scenario I would recommend to not play it with adversary and other additional elements as the number of rules to keep in mind could be a bit daunting. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

In their list of best fantasy board games in 2020, CNET named Spirit Island the best complex cooperative game of the year, and PC Gamer lists it in their best cooperative board games. [11] [12] In an article for The Atlantic, Luke Wilkie stated that Spirit Island is "one of the few flat-out anti-colonial games on the market". [13]

New Spirit Island spinoff board game will be an entryway to cooperative settler destruction". Dicebreaker. 2022-07-22 . Retrieved 2022-09-02. In Spirit Island, players take the role of different spirits of a distant island where magic still exists. These spirits of the land have awakened to protect the island from colonizing Invaders from European countries that threaten the population of the Island and the nature itself. Players role is then to cooperate together to push away the invaders from the shores of the island before the damage done to the land is irreparable. Every turn, each spirit will choose which action to take, which of their power cards to play and which part of the island to defend or regenerate. As each spirit has different powers and abilities, players can work together to combine their spirits' elemental powers and develop a winning strategy. At the same time, players could challenge themselves to win with each single spirit in solo games. The new adversary that comes in this expansion is a mighty one: The Kingdom of Scotland. In general this adversary does not penalize a particular spirit choice or play-style too much. Its strength comes mainly from the ability to generate repeated waves of assaults that can be a problem if you are unable to constantly contain them.

Will there be more expansions?

Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate is an expansion that hasn't been released yet. Nature Incarnate was announced on June 14th, 2022, and was successfully crowdfunded in November 2022. Spirit Island is a cooperative game where you take on the role of a spirit defending your island against colonising invaders. The game is challenging, complex and highly strategic but offers deep, rich and satisfying gameplay. The Feather And Flame expansion is no exception! As mentioned, the newest expansion of Spirit Island adds four new spirits. Three spirits are rated high and one very high for complexity. What makes these spirits so challenging to play is a combination of some of their main traits: In the game, players take the role of spirits on an island and win by driving off colonizing invaders.

Spirit Island is an award-winning, cooperative, settler-destruction strategy game for 1 to 4 players designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world. Players act as 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. Players work with their fellow Spirits and the Dahan (local islanders) to increase their power and drive the invading colonists from their island in this deep and complex area-control game! Spirit Island: Jagged Earth was also a very big expansion in comparison to the Branch & Claw expansion. There were a few new mechanics, but this expansion mostly build upon the mechanics already present in the base game. Draper, Kevin (1 August 2019). "Should Board Gamers Play the Roles of Racists, Slavers and Nazis?". The New York Times . Retrieved 9 September 2020.Spirit Island is a euro-style co-operative strategy board game designed by R. Eric Reuss and published by Greater Than Games in 2017. Digital versions have been released for PC, iOS, and Android. The aspect cards are not new to the game, as we have already seen some in the first expansion: Branch and Claw. Aspect cards can be used to change how one of the core game spirit plays by swapping a special rule for that spirit with the one on the aspect cards. Most of the times the change increase the complexity of the spirit but offers more strategic options. Let’s look at a few examples. The second scenario is a bit more peculiar as it a adds a limited communication element to the game. In this scenario, players can only use gestures, body language and noises to help coordinating a strategy. Each player can speak freely during the execution of their actions to explain what they are doing or to ask for tokens etc. Essentially, the scenario does not increase the adversary strength but it forces the players to read each other strategy to be able to support it. There is also a nice benefit if a presence token is added to a land with at least another spirit presence. Feather & Flame– New Adversary, Kingdom Of Scotland Feather and Flame is a small expansion. This expansion is not required for any future expansions, but includes extra Spirits, an Adversary, a few Aspects, and a few Fear Cards for added replayability. This expansion has twice as many Spirits (4) as Branch and Claw, but keeps the complexity lower by not introducing any new rules systems.
