Teach Me: Spirit Island

Come learn Spirit Island with Jared.  Spirit Island is a cooperative, settler-destruction strategy game for 1 to 4 players designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world. Players are different spirits of the land, each with its own unique elemental powers. The Invaders expand across the island map in a semi-predictable fashion. 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. At game start, winning requires destroying every last settlement and city on the board - but as you frighten the Invaders more and more, victory becomes easier: they'll run away even if some number of settlements or cities remain. Defeat comes if any spirit is destroyed, if the island is overrun by blight, or if the Invader deck is depleted before achieving victory. Limited to 3 people. Register at www.theboardroomvt@gmail.com
