## Overview

Spirit Island is a critically acclaimed cooperative strategy board game for 1-4 players, featuring 8 unique Spirits with distinct powers, 4 difficulty levels, and modular island boards that guarantee high replayability. Designed for adults aged 14+, it offers 90-120 minutes of deep, thematic gameplay where players unite to repel colonizing invaders. Perfect for solo or group play, it’s widely regarded as one of the best cooperative and solo strategy games available, with multiple expansions to extend the experience.

## Description

Spirit Island is a complex cooperative board game for 1 to 4 players in which players take on the roles of different Spirits of the land, defending their island home from colonizing invaders. Unlike most games where you play the conquering force, Spirit Island flips the script: you are the ancient, powerful spirit defending your homeland. The invaders arrive each round, spreading and building settlements — and it's your job to use your unique spiritual powers to drive them out before the island is overrun. Each Spirit has its own unique set of powers, growth mechanics, and playstyle, ranging from the fast-acting Lightning's Swift Strife to the slow but unstoppable Vital Strength of the Earth. Players must coordinate their powers strategically, managing fear and blight across the island's territories. With 8 different Spirits, multiple Adversary factions (each with 6 escalating difficulty levels), and modular island boards, Spirit Island offers enormous replayability. Whether you're playing solo or with a full group of 4, no two games ever feel the same. Spirit Island is widely regarded as one of the best solo board games for adults, one of the best cooperative strategy board games, and one of the most thematically rich board games ever designed. Expand your island with official expansions: Branch & Claw, Jagged Earth, Horizons of Spirit Island, and Nature Incarnate — all fully compatible with the base game. Players: 1–4 | Play Time: 90–120 minutes | Ages: 14+ | Complexity: Medium-High

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the first or second printing of the game?**
A: To update the answer here, as of (at least) July 18, 2018, this is the forth printing, per the printing just above the barcode on the box.

**Q: The other day the shipping to australia was $19, in line with listed weight, but today it's $43. What changed?**
A: Cannot tell from here, but sounds like your shipping address changed or the shipping method you selected changed..  No US retailer can ship a game that heavy to Australia for $19.  In fact, even at $43, the retailer would be taking a significant loss.  To us, those look like U.S. domestic shipping charges -- $19 for standard shipping and $43 for express or 2 day shipping.  Buy, again, I am just guessing since I cannot see your screen.

**Q: The foldable boards in the kickstarter version don't lay flat properly. Is this problem corrected in the second edition?**
A: I have the 3rd printing, and it still doesn't lay flat straight out of the box. It will lay flat properly if you put something on top of it for a while (such as the stack of spirit boards). After you fold it up and put it back in the box, and take it out again, it once more won't lay flat until you flatten it for a while.

**Q: Is this the original board game? I am confused since item weight is 2 pounds and the original weights over 6 pounds**
A: It is the full core game.  I am not sure why the listed weight differs, but the product is complete.
