Description
In Spirit Island, players take on the roles of powerful spirits defending their island home from colonizing invaders. Working cooperatively, you must strategically use your unique powers and abilities to blight the invaders' settlements, drive them from the land, and ultimately restore balance to the island.

Each spirit possesses a distinct playstyle, requiring players to carefully manage their hand of power cards, reclaim energy, and strategically time their actions. The game features a modular board, creating a unique island layout each time you play. As the invaders push deeper, the spirits must adapt and find new ways to repel the encroaching threat, making every game a challenging and thematic experience.
