With 90+ minutes of playtime, multiple adversaries, and scalable difficulty, it offers endless replayability and strategic depth, perfect for millennials seeking a rich, social gaming experience that sharpens teamwork and problem-solving skills. ## Description 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! Review: Best Cooperative Game . . . Ever - Spirit Island lives up to its incredibly high hype and I wish I was not so late to the party. Every aspect of this game is incredibly thoughtful (well designed), fun, and offers so much variety. The replay value is insane. Typically, I'm one of those people who believes that a board game should never take more than 1 hour of time otherwise it turns into more of a stressful experience. Spirit Island completely proves me wrong . . . even with the 2+ hour play times (including set up and play through) I can't get enough and never feel board. I also love how all of the game mechanics make sense and feel completely natural to the story of the game itself. Nothing feels like a mechanic that was just added to "fix" some issue. I've also read that the makers of this game go through years of game testing to make sure they get everything right: it really shows. My only word of warning is that this game does take at least one or two play-throughs before you get your bearings and you should sit down with it for the first time on a day when you are not tired from work, but the instruction booklet is very well written and that helps a lot. If you are on the fence after hearing good things about this game, just get it. You won't be disappointed. Review: Endlessly replayable, enjoyable and timeless - I’ve owned Spirit Island for seven years and only recently started playing it with others. Until then, it was my main solo game, usually with three spirits at once. I’ve never won against an adversary or a scenario, but I always enjoy the challenge. Components: Beautiful art, solid pieces, and spirit boards that feel alive. The production quality matches the depth of the game. Set up time: Long, especially with expansions and multiple spirits. It takes a while, but the table presence makes it worth it. Ease of teaching: Not simple, but learnable with patience. My roommates were better at keeping track of everything than I am, though they’re used to long D&D campaigns and complex games. What I find great: It’s endlessly replayable. Every spirit, power card, and combination changes the experience. The strategy runs deep and always feels fresh, even after years. What I like less: Bookkeeping can get heavy, especially when managing multiple spirits solo. I often switch to the Steam version for convenience, but I still prefer the physical game when I have the time. If I were stranded on an island or stuck in a zombie apocalypse, this is the one game I’d pack in my bunker. ## Features - DEFEND THE LAND: Colonizers are trying to take and blight the island wherever they explore. As Spirits of the island, you can defend your home from the invading forces! - COOPERATIVE GAMEPLAY: You and your friends are working together to fight against the terrible invaders! Or, you can opt to play alone with special single player rules. - HIGHLY THEMATIC: Not only do the invaders have an engine all their own, each Spirit is highly themed to reflect what they're special at. Lightning's Swift Strife acts fast, while Vital Strength of the Earth takes longer to move. - THRILLING ADVERSARIES: Not only can you play with just the ambiguous invaders, you can opt for two different adversaries to make replaying the game all the more fun! - CHALLENGING SPIRITS: From low to moderate to high, there's a Spirit for everyone! Play those challenging Spirits along with adversaries to make it all that much harder. Will you be able to defend the island? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MUHP51S | | Age Range Description | 156 months to 9600 months | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,545 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #304 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Greater Than Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Color | Blue | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,803 Reviews | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | To improve strategic thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills | | Estimated Playing Time | 90 Minutes | | Game Mechanics | Area Control, Cooperative, Resource Management | | Genre | Strategy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00798304339291 | | Included Components | Game | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.6 x 2.95 x 11.6 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12"L x 12"W | | Item Type Name | Board Game | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Greater Than Games | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1500 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | SISL:CORE | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 168 | | Model Number | SISL:CORE | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 2-4 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Base Game | | Size | 36.17 cubic inches | | Sub Brand | Spirit | | Subject Character | Spirit Island | | Theme | Strategy | | UPC | 798304339291 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Spirit Island - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AIv5OOuNL.jpg) ![Spirit Island - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71t7AL5qPHL.jpg) ![Spirit Island - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31DAwtPa0pS.jpg) ![Spirit Island - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cRpp28FTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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. Respectfully, Robert S. Solow, Ph.D. CLS Games Atlanta's Board Game Warehouse LAND: 770.966.8340 CELL: 770.310.2498 Twitter: @CLS_Games Facebook: facebook.com/CLSGames **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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Cooperative Game . . .

There IS a learning curve but once you stumble through your first couple games and it "clicks" you cannot find a better game, I'm convinced. Works well with solo play, roommates, family, gamer friends, everyone I've taught this game to seems to really love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Greater Than Games | Spirit Island: Base Game | Cooperative Strategy Board Game | 1 to 4 Players | 90+ Minutes | Ages 14+ - Greater Than Games | Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate | Cooperative Strategy Board Game Expansion | 1 to 6 Players | 90+ Minutes | Ages 14+ - Greater Than Games | Spirit Island: Feather & Flame | Cooperative Strategy Board Game Expansion | 1 to 4 Players | 90+ Minutes | Ages 14+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/45784355-spirit-island](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/45784355-spirit-island) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
