Ready to mix things up a bit? A Spirit with a knack for stirring up trouble arrives on the scene, and Adversary nations join with one another to challenge you in unpredictable ways. Let's see what happens! The eighth phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and Play Option.


There are many trickster Spirits, but this one is the most infamous. It wears any form it pleases, but can always be distinguished by its multitude of eyes, though they may be subtle or concealed. It has a driving curiosity to see what will happen when it messes around with things. Of course, this may involve putting Spirits, people, and animals alike into suddenly precarious situations, so the Dahan appreciate its shenanigans best at a healthy distance.


Through conquest or marriage, one Adversary nation joins with another, shifting their society and how they approch colonization. You can combine two Adversaries for a hybrid challenge, incorporating aspects of both.

No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content and features with your existing purchase of Jagged Earth. You can learn more about the new features and associated rules in the How to Play screen.

An ancient Spirit has arisen to Observe the Ever-Changing World, and finds a new threat with the arrival of the Invaders. It will face many new challenges with new island forms, such as archipelagos of disconnected lands and extra expanses of unoccupied territory. The seventh phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and two new Play Options.


An immensely old Spirit that has ascended to great power countless times over the ages − and then destroyed that power each time, severing huge pieces of itself to become small once again. The Invaders’ arrival has pushed it to grow much more quickly than it usually would, re-learning lessons and powers from its deep past in order to fight more effectively.


Instead of laying the Island Boards out as a single island, you can now create two or more smaller islets. Archipelagos are very good at dividing up what board elements a given player most needs to pay attention to, and can make larger games much easier for players to scan and think about.


You can now include an extra board to defend, with no Spirit starting on it. This provides a different sort of Difficulty boost from Adversaries or Scenarios. The higher Difficulty the game already is, the more Difficulty another board will add.

No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content and features with your existing purchase of Jagged Earth. You can learn more about the new features and associated rules in the How to Play screen.

A few Invaders have found treasures on the Island, and they are determined to bring home their loot for riches and glory. However, as they make their way to the shore, they become Lost in the Swirling Haze, never to be seen again… The sixth phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and Scenario.



Shroud of Silent Mist: A Spirit of dissolution and the cold silence of death, creeping quietly down from the hills and across the open waters. Its trail is adorned with dew-covered leaves and the bones of small animals. Some legends say it came from the final breath of a Dahan Spirit-speaker who spoke too freely of secrets entrusted to him…

Despicable Theft: Small groups of Invaders have been searching the island, and a few have found wonders. If they make it home, their people will stop at nothing to seek out more such fantastic treasures. Even those without wonders have tales and trophies that may bolster the Invaders’ resolve to stay.

No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content with your existing purchase of Jagged Earth.

We have been working to improve the multiplayer workings of the game to eliminate synchronization issues. Spirit Island has many complex rule interactions, and allowing players to do things simultaneously yet still remain in sync with each other is a challenging and ever-evolving task!

To support this we have updated the networking libraries and reworked the Full Sync feature to be more reliable. Ideally you would never need to use Full Sync, but if you run into a problem, we want to make sure your game can continue.

Remember, if you run into a problem in a multiplayer game, please report it in-game using the Help & Feedback button at the time it occurs (and before trying Undo or Full Sync). It also helps a lot if everyone in the game sends a report, so we can see the situation from all angles. That gives us the best chance to solve the problem sooner!

We are planning to add support for saving multiplayer games to continue later, but that feature is not yet available. Stay tuned!

• Informational messages are now shown in the game log so you can review them at your leisure.
  
• The text of Elemental Invocation is updated to read that land corners are "at an intersection of 3+ lands/Oceans, or of 2+ lands/Oceans and the board edge." This means that in new games from now on, there are no longer land corners on solitary lands at the intersection of 2+ board sides.
