Greater Than Games | Horizons of Spirit Island | Cooperative Strategy Board Game | 1 to 3 Players | 90+ Minutes | Ages 14+

Bought this only for the unique Spirits, since I have the full base game (plus other expansions) already. The Spirits are low complexity, but not low in fun. Unlike the low complexity Spirits that came with the base game, these are far more interesting, and unique. Even though I generally prefer Moderate and High complexity, these Spirits are definitely worth having.

You probably already know something about Spirit Island if you're looking at this.There are of course more thorough sources of discussion and review for this particular incarnation.Regardless, it is exactly what it purports to be -- a more affordably-produced (i.e. cheaper components) version of a really great cooperative game. As a bonus to people who might already have said fancier original version of the game, this variant comes with 5 new beginner-friendly spirits which are also (in my opinion) fun to play, and worthwhile to have available for fans of the game, in general.For people that don't already have regular Spirit Island, this is a great way to try it out and see if you like the gameplay. And of course even if you do, there's nothing that says you can't stick with this affordable version in its nice small portable easier-to-store box.You always have the option to buy its big older brother and start slowing getting sucked into the expansions available for that one, in the future, when you've finally got that dedicated board gaming space and your kids finally aren't demanding all your time, and work has calmed down, etc.

I love spirit island, but it is really complicated and difficult to teach to new players. This version of the game is still very fun, but is much more streamlined and accessible for newbies! (However, it is still a fairly complicated game so still be patient with complete board game beginners.) Plus, the spirits are cross compatible, which is a very nice perk in my opinion

Amazing game!

A nice strip down of Spirit Island to something a bit more . . . accessible? It's a good gateway into the world while not being shallow and lifeless

Amazing value. I got this on sale for $15 which is unbeatable, even though I already knew how to play SI, it was worth it for the new spirits alone. Great all in one package, to bring Spirit island anywhere, and teach anyone!

So much fun! We love this game!

The publisher purposely made this version of Spirit Island a bit easier to learn than the original base game. It can still be a bit complicated to learn all the moving parts for some, but, in our experience, it is qute an enjoyable board game for those able to grasp the play mechanics. Each playable spirit is unique and if you don't like one there are plenty more to try. If you love this game as much as our play group did then there are expansions and online communities that will help to make this enjoyable and social for years to come! This game easily fits on a shelf, even if you buy all of it then it still condenses nicely, though you may want to look into a box insert such as TowerRex.
