It features all the content from the tabletop game of the same name, designed by R. Eric Reuss. The five new Spirits are designed to be ideal for those playing a Spirit Island game for the first time, and three new island boards allow for even more island combinations!

• Spirit - Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot: Long ago, the being which would become this Spirit was a small, territorial Spirit of the sand-by-water. It waited patiently for small prey to approach, then frightened them towards its waiting maw; when fresh prey was scarce it would scavenge. Most such Spirits stay tiny, but this one happened to take a bite out of Ember-Eyed Behemoth..
  
• Spirit - Eyes Watch From the Trees: Even after centuries, the Dahan find many things about this Spirit somewhat enigmatic. It warns of danger, helps those lost or injured in the forest, and only works mischief on aggressors and the arrogant. Back in the days of the First Reckoning, its faint whispers were a source of dread, but to current generations they're a familiar and expected part of the island.
  
• Spirit - Fathomless Mud of the Swamp: The Island has many swampy deltas along its coasts. Some are fairly navigatable, while others are mazes of murky water, tangled trees, and land that isn't nearly so solid as it appears. This Spirit is one of these latter sorts, with a penchant for spreading - it likes getting everywhere, slowly turning solid ground into muck and mire.
  
• Spirit - Rising Heat of Stone and Sand: Even after centuries, this Spirit remains a bit unclear on why living things get so unhappy about fatal dessication, but the Dahan make such pleasant patterns across its sands that it's happy to forbear.
  
• Spirit - Sun-Bright Whirlwind: A Spirit of sun-warmed and gusting air. It spins leaves and dust into miniature cyclones, playfully snatches at small unsecured objects, and sometimes - when joyful, or upset, or full of the vigor of nature - howls across the island, bending trees and abrading the landscape with pebbles, twigs, shells, and the occasional bird nest.
  
• Island Boards: F, G, and H

The low level game engine Spirit Island is built on has been modernized to improve performance, quality and compatibility.

This update also includes several fixes and improvements, including:

• Various core game cards have improved wording introduced in Horizons of Spirit Island, including the Downgrade keyword.
  
• Power tooltips now indicate why a power cannot be used during the power phase (for example, if it requires a sacred site and you do not have one).
  
• Towns and Cities with +2 Health now show 2 + icons properly.
  
• Flame's Fury now applies the damage increase properly to repeats of Creepers Tear Into Mortar.
  
• Fixed some issues related to undo and Event cards.
  
• Fixed a problem with repeating a Power several times with different effects.
  
• Fixed incorrect interaction between Explorers are Reluctant, Quarantine, and Immigration effects.
  
• Immigration Slows no longer prevents all builds instead of just regular builds.
  
• Discord fear card now checks for end of game at the correct time.
  
• Fixed issues with undoing growth in certain situations.
  
• Fixed a problem in Second Wave where an incorrect blight pool total could occur after switching blight cards.
  
• Ocean in Play now works properly with Blight and Event cards.

Online multiplayer is now available, so you can play Spirit Island digital with your friends no matter where they are! Access the new mode from the Main Menu and learn more from the How to Play screen.

Multiplayer is fully cross-platform, so you can play with your friends on iOS and Android devices.



This update also adds fine-grained Spirit Phase undo. Growth and other actions in the Spirit Phase can be undone using the buttons directly on their interfaces. You may undo back to before the Spirit Phase (or to when new information was revealed) using the main undo button. As part of this feature, you can independently undo Spirit Phase actions when playing with multiple Spirits. Also, you may use Presence track abilities (e.g. Reclaim One) at any time during the Spirit Phase.



To help develop your strategy (and communicate with others in multiplayer), you can now add a marker to any land indicating your plans. Right click or use Spirit Foresight to set a planning marker on a land.



The Ward the Shores and Rituals of the Destroying Flame scenarios have been updated to use a new button on your Spirit summary panel. Use this button to play a Power card face-down as a Warding Pattern or to add a Flame Marker at the appropriate times.



We'll be monitoring the status of online multiplayer and look forward to your feedback in order to prioritize improvements. If you have any problems or have a suggestion, use the Help & Feedback button in-game to send us a message.

We are looking forward to the possibility of adapting more Spirit Island content in the future. Stay tuned for news about Jagged Earth and other expansions.

We are continuing to work on various areas to streamline multiplayer gameplay by reducing voting and allowing simultaneous choices for different players, where possible. If you see a specific problem, please report it in-game when you see it and we can look into it. That will be more helpful to us than general requests for streamlining.

Keep track of our development progress on the public beta Trello board. Please note that several items are still in development and are not yet available:

• Powers Long Forgotten scenario is not yet playable in multiplayer
  
• In-game invites via URL/Discord
  
• While forgetting a Power card during the Spirit Phase, other players are temporarily blocked from taking actions.

This update fixes a problem where a "requesting undo file" popup could appear and interrupt the game during multiplayer.
