Spirit Of The Island
Invaders from beyond the known sea have upset the natural balance of your once peaceful island. The untamed wilds find their home among 25 removable trays holding the content from the Spirit Island base game, the Branch and Claw expansion, the Jagged Earth expansion, and the Spirit promo packs 1 and 2. The Island Boards Tray holds all the modular island boards, as well as houses six individual player trays for each color of player tokens.

When packing the box first place the spirit, adversary, and scenario panels on top of the lowest level of trays. This is followed by the invader board, and then the invader board extension as shown. Next place the Branch and Claw rule book and the island boards. Lastly place the rule book on top of everything else. Once fully loaded the box is filled to the top, allowing for vertical storage.

Spirit of the Island is a relaxing life simulation RPG set on a tropical island. Explore the once-prosperous tourist destination, meet the locals, and lend a hand to restore the town to their former glory as you embark on a long journey that will help you rediscover your past!
You work with the native Dahan and the other spirits, gathering energy and executing earth-shattering powers to destroy entire cities, frighten the invaders, or otherwise impede their progress. Spirits all work together with the eventual goal of pushing the invaders from the island for good, through force or fear.
In practical terms, this means that at the start of the game when the Invaders are unafraid, every single one of them must be removed. But by reaching terror level 2, the spirits only need to remove the towns and cities, and at terror level 3, only the cities. If they manage to push the terror level beyond 3, they automatically win.
One scenario has you protecting the inner heart of the islands, while another has the Dahan fighting back in an aggressive insurrection. You can get hundreds of hours out of Spirit Island and since the game functions well at any player count, you can easily find the time to use those hours.
Spirits can be caught with a net, granting the player 3 Animal Care XP (15 XP with the 4x daily bonus) regardless of rarity and a varying amount of spirit jars. Catching a green spirit has a 40% chance of rewarding a green spirit essence.
Spirit Island is a tiny tied island in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. This landmark is the destination of boat trips across Maligne Lake,[1] a view many people associate with the Canadian Rockies. Spirit Island enjoys worldwide reputation,[1] and is one of the most famous and photographed views of the Canadian Rockies. Maligne Lake boat cruises offer close views of the island.
Powerful Spirits have existed on this isolated island for time immemorial. They are both part of the natural world and - at the same time - something beyond nature. Native Islanders, known as the Dahan, have learned how to co-exist with the spirits, but with a healthy dose of fear and reverence. However, now, the island has been "discovered" by invaders from a far-off land. These would-be colonists are taking over the land and upsetting the natural balance, destroying the presence of Spirits as they go. As Spirits, you must grow in power and work together to drive the invaders from your island... before it's too late!
Several generations of traveling ensued due to the Seven Fires Prophecy. The journey took the Anishinaabe through many places, including modern-day Montreal, New York and Detroit, searching for an island shaped like a turtle.
These are carried out in reverse order from above, with Ravage being the one you need to keep an eye on. As these can kill off the island natives and cause the island blight, and too much blight will lose you the game.
A baby crawls among the dead villagers, the only survivor of a smallpox epidemic. From a distance, voyagers observe her on the island. Dozens of birds fly above, their sweet songs contrasting "strangely with the silent horror below." Fearing exposure to the disease, the voyagers move on, leaving the baby to die. One voyager, with tears in his eyes, vows to himself that he will tell his wife, Tallow. He fears her temper but admires her courage: "his wife was afraid of nothing."
Omakayas has to be careful with her baby brother, Neewo. He is a spirit still, deciding whether or not to stay. If Omakayas is mean, he might decide to return to the other place. So, for now, the baby has no name other than Neewo, which simply means "fourth," after Omakayas' older sister Angeline, Omakayas herself, and Pinch. Strangely, none of the seven or eight people with the right to give names has yet dreamed a name for Neewo. In the meantime, being careful with Neewo is easy; Omakayas loves her baby brother. She longs to take him out of his tikinagun and carry him on her hip down to the lake. But he is too young, and Omakayas' mother tells her to play with Little Pinch instead. But that means enduring Pinch's noise, his rock throwing, his jumping on her back and pulling her braids, and his destruction of her rock-people village. "Little Pinch? Never!"
The high spirits of wintertime celebration have become a season of sadness and hunger. The epidemic has touched everyone. Old Tallow blames the chimookoman, the white man, for the disease, the scarcity of food, even the weather. Omakayas loses her will to live, and Nokomis puts charcoal on her face, sends her to bed hungry, and tells her to remember her dreams. Nokomis wants her to find "a spirit helper, someone great in the spirit world who would help her to recover her will to live."
At the very end of the book, Old Tallow tells Omakayas the true story of Omakayas' past. Young listeners are usually surprised to learn that the baby on the island in the opening scene was Omakayas. She was saved by Old Tallow and adopted by Yellow Kettle and Deydey. They raised her as their own and loved her dearly. Surviving the smallpox epidemic on Spirit Island is why Omakayas did not get the disease and was able to tend to her family and ensure its survival. The story ends as it began, with birds singing, only now Omakayas hears new things in their songs. She hears Neewo telling her to get on with her life, "to cheer up and live." Omakayas lies back and smiles as "the song of the white-throated sparrow sank again and again through the air like a shining needle, and sewed up her broken heart."
Sometimes, however, you have an assembly of spirits that work better for a true fear victory (or maybe even fear 2). Some of this comes through studying the spirits and practice, but you should work with your compatriots to predict the turn in which you can try to go for the win and plan your available cards appropriately. This requires a shift in vision from generating value to accomplishing a singular goal, but that could be the difference between victory and defeat.

Spirit Island is a cooperative strategy game in which you control spirits who are attempting to prevent colonists from invading their land. The game was designed by R. Eric Reuss and is published by Greater Than Games.
The island's natives are there to help you fight back when they can, but it's mostly up to you and your teammates to destroy the settlers' fledgling cities, remove the blight they introduce as they ravage your pristine lands, and gain more and better powers to help you on your way. Gameplay is driven by cards, and as the game progresses, you'll get more and better powers and strike more and more fear into the invaders' hearts. Drive them off to win.
Enlarge / Left: a minor power. Right: a much more complex major power.The cards that represent your powers allow you to push and pull the enemy around the board, deal damage, buff up allies, generate fear, and just generally cause mayhem. Elemental symbols on the left-hand side of each card let you trigger special, spirit-specific effects, which adds even more complexity to your calculations.
The Invaders expand across the island map in a semi-predictable fashion. Each turn they explore into some lands (portions of the island); the next turn, they build in those lands, forming settlements and cities. The turn after that, they ravage there, bringing blight to the land and attacking any native islanders present.
The game escalates as it progresses: spirits spread their presence to new parts of the island and seek out new and more potent powers, while the Invaders step up their colonization efforts. Each turn represents 1-3 years of alternate-history.

Spirit Island is an island hidden in the Southwest corner of the Southwest sea quadrant in Phantom Hourglass. Long ago, the three Spirits came here in search of the power to defeat evil.[1]
The island is hidden in the middle of a triangle of rocks south of Molida Island, which is hinted at by a Gossip Stone on Molida Island.[2] It does not appear on Link's Sea Chart until he sails close enough for Ciela to spot it and mark its location.[3] The island is smaller than most other islands of the World of the Ocean King, and is made up of two sections separated by a channel of water. To the south of the left section is a much smaller piece of land, connected to the main area by a bridge. Right next to the channel of water that separates the two main sections of the island is a Treasure Chest containing a Courage Gem. The right section of the island cannot be accessed until Link obtains the Grappling Hook in the Temple of Ice, and is made up of several stacks of land. If Link successfully navigates the area, defeating the enemies that are present, he will come across a treasure chest containing a Power Gem, which is located on the highest piece of land. 041b061a72
