MeepleCon 2017: Hot Games #1 Spirit Island

Have you ever played Settlers of Catan and thought about what it’ll be like to be the island of Catan instead? Now you can live out that fantasy by playing the brilliant Spirit Island! It is a cooperative area control game for 1-4 players. You can be the ocean and drown the invaders. You can be a nightmare and scare them away instead. Or you can play as a phoenix and burn down the cities and towns. And there are many other spirits, each with a distinctive play style!

This game flips the board game script on its head – instead of colonising far-flung lands, you’re working with other players to repel the colonial invaders instead.
