Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate - Expansion Board Game, New Spirits, Mechanics, Adversary & More, Settler Destruction

Product Information

The news comes from publisher Greater Than Games, who explained that US-based retail chain Target reached out to them and expressed an interest in putting Spirit Island in their surprisingly robust tabletop section - the one caveat being that the existing board game designed by R. Eric Reuss was a bit too complex for their clientele. However, most of those innumerable hills, crags, and mountains - even the ones with Spirits - don’t get up and walk around.

Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate will challenge players with hard choices, new opportunities, and a brutal side to a familiar Adversary. There's more to come for the campaign, as well! Look forward to foil Spirit Panels, new wooden token accessories, and exclusive bundles of previous content. The blog post shows off a peek at the new Spirits, all of which can be used in any other game in the series. Sun-Bright Whirlwind is a golden feline Spirit who specialises in scaring off Invaders before they have the chance to establish towns or cities, while Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot serves as a battering ram against established colonies. Fathomless Mud of the Swamp can delay build actions in the parts of the island with their influence and appropriately excels at redistributing those tokens across the map. This set of Spirit Panels replaces each of the Spirit Panels from the board game Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate expansion with premium foil card versions of those same panels! Since launching Spirit Island in 2017, Greater Than Games has developed and supported Spirit Island with the expansions Jagged Earth, Branch and Claw, and Feather and Flame. We've designed and created board games since 2011 with our flagship title Sentinels of the Multiverse, and the future holds even more for our fans. Thank you for playing Greater!The designer and studio behind cooperative charmer Spirit Island have announced a new board game aimed at introducing new audiences to the core mechanics. Horizons of Spirit Island will be arriving on Target shelves in October of this year. As white-sailed ships dot the horizon and the footsteps of colonizers echo on the pristine shores, the Island stirs. Their blades and plows, driven by greed, awaken forces that have slumbered for eons. Can you hear it? The rustling of leaves, the murmurs of the forest, the whispers of Spirits from the deepest corners of the land. They’re not just tales anymore. They’re real, and they’re here. The roster of Spirits is also brand new and designed to aid in teaching the core mechanics to players who might be approaching Spirit Island for the first time. Horizons of Spirit Island will come with five choices that Greater Than Games claims will perform well alongside the other, more complicated deities released in the base game and its subsequent expansions while keeping the learning curve out of intimidating territory. Some Incarna can become Empowered. This is a permanent increase in power. The exact details on how the Spirit/Incarna becomes more powerful depend on the Spirit using it. Removes some of the restrictions of Fangs that make it frustrating to play, without changing the power level significantly

Incarna serves as a nexus to draw invaders into, and will feature the newly keyworded downgrade mechanic This set of Spirit Panels replaces each of the Spirit Panels from the board game Spirit Island with premium foil card versions of those same panels! Horizons of Spirit Island comes from a team-up of Reuss and Christopher Badell, and the pair endeavoured to create a beginner’s version of the 2017 cooperative board game that is friendlier to both the mind and the wallet. Some big differences one will notice off the bat is that the plastic pieces for many of the components - Dahan huts, blight, Spirit influence, etc. - will be printed in punch-out cardboard as opposed to wood and plastic, which allows the board game to keep its price point low. Uses Spirit-specific Quake Tokens, interacts with his Innate Powers and possibly Unique Power Cards

There are two unaccounted-for pieces of art by Kat Guevara. This art is most likely for unrevealed major power cards. Here they are - This set of Spirit Panels replaces each of the Spirit Panels from the board game Spirit Island: Feather and Flame expansion with premium foil card versions of those same panels!

An Incarna is the powerful manifestation of a Spirit that has taken form in the physical world. It acts as a special Presence token, placing the Spirit on the board like never before. Why immerse yourself in this world? Because Spirit Island Nature Incarnate offers more than just a game. It offers a story, a journey, a challenge. It’s a dance between strategy and myth, between power and responsibility. It’s a call to defend, to protect, to become one with the Spirits.

Spirit Island Nature Incarnate isn’t just a board game. It’s an experience. Dive deep into a world where you’ll harness the power of eight new Spirits, explore twenty unique aspects, and so much more. Can you feel the power coursing through your veins? Can you harness the strength of Spirits that have been dormant for ages? Why Play? Ted - Almost put Vitality tokens on major powers, but decided not to because there would need to be at least 4 majors that use that token. Would tilt this set of major powers too heavily towards Vitality, which wouldn't be ideal since this won't be a "required" expansionBut do not settle there, nor quarry that stone, for the hill is a Spirit, immense and incarnate. It might be a living scale of the great Serpent; or a dream given waking form; or a Spirit wrapped around a great curse, enfolding it and containing it from spilling outwards. If you bother it, fire will kindle in its eyes, and it will rise and smash its way across the landscape.
