Spirit Island: Jagged Earth Expansion

About this product

The island grows wilder. So must its defenders.

A major Spirit Island expansion with 10 new Spirits, new island boards, Adversaries, Events and support for games of up to six players.

Unleash new Spirits, reshape the island and confront tougher Invaders with powerful new mechanics and strategic possibilities.

Product Description

Peril spreads across Spirit Island. The Invaders are more numerous, more capable and increasingly difficult to contain. To survive, the island must call on Spirits more deeply connected to the danger, destruction and unpredictable power of the natural world.

Spirit Island: Jagged Earth is a substantial expansion for Spirit Island, adding 10 new Spirits, two additional modular Island Boards and enough content to expand games to up to six players.

New Spirits bring their own powers and ways of interacting with the island, while additional Major, Minor and Unique Power cards open up even more strategic possibilities. Aspect cards also provide alternative ways to play familiar Spirits from the base game by modifying or replacing selected rules or Innate Powers.

Jagged Earth introduces Badlands, making Invaders and Dahan more vulnerable to damage, and also includes the Beasts, Wilds, Disease and Strife tokens used by the Branch & Claw rules.

Two additional Adversaries: The Tsardom of Russia and The Habsburg Monarchy, provide new challenges, while three Scenarios, additional Events, Fear cards and Blight cards bring further variety to the defence of the island.

Jagged Earth also expands the way the island itself can be arranged, including new layouts, archipelagos and options for larger islands, creating fresh challenges even before the Invaders begin to spread.

Spirit Island: Jagged Earth is an expansion and is not a standalone game. Spirit Island is required to play.
