Test your understanding of the rules of the board game Spirit Island. 13 questions that will help you determine if you’re ready to lead a play of this game.
The answer to question #7 is slightly inaccurate at 12:36: The presence is destroyed, not removed from the game. The difference is that certain effects/powers can act on destroyed presence, but not on presence that has been removed from the game.
10:20 what you said is slightly misleading, damage to dahan and to the land is done simultaneously, not one after the other. This matters with say earths special rule; if invaders are doing 5 damage and you have a sacred site and 2 dahan there, you don’t add blight first and destroy one of your presence (meaning you no longer have a sacred site and so lose defend 3 and so both dahan get killed), damage happens to the land and dahan at the same time
I find the entirety of Question #4’s existence illegal. The Defend 4 effect in that land was from the earlier illegal action from Question #1, meaning no Defend should be present and the Blight returned to the land. This causes the 2 Dahan present to be destroyed, the land Blighted, and causing a Cascade.
good stuff as usual, thanks, btw its Spirit Island not Dominant Species as in your description 🙂
It's 1 blight per player +1 on the healthy side, not blighted
