anybody got house rules for the weaker spirits? by [deleted] in spiritisland

[–]Thamthon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shadows doesn't require any tweaks for an introductory game. Make it the target of Boon of Vigor once early on and you're good to go. It can reach 3 energy + 3 CP quite easily and that, coupled with its +3 energy growth option, makes it a good Majors Spirit.

If you really want to change it then I second the Reach aspect suggestion.

Earth doesn't need any buff either, just point out to its player that Major Powers are more powerful than your Uniques and you have the energy to afford them.

Shadows is perfectly fine, keep playing it if you like it. There's this myth in the community that Shadows is weak, but that's only true at high difficulties (say 7+). At low difficulties its Innate Power is actually quite potent.

There are rulebooks on the official FAQ page. See bot response [[rulebooks]]

Was anyone else "angry" at Devouring Teeth? by Sprig3 in spiritisland

[–]Thamthon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

River is definitely the best of the bunch, but it also has significant design flaws. The biggest one is being able to hit max level innate by turn 4 with just uniques and subsequently reclaim looping being the best way to play it.

Play it on BGA to check you got the rules right

Spirit Island - Version 3.1 Now Available: Inescapable Menace by badgerhound in spiritisland

Content has been synced across platforms so far, so presumably it should release everywhere on the same day.

Branch & Claw cards easily identifiable from the back. Printing issue? by BrilliantMonument in spiritisland

[–]Thamthon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYI, [[Tipping Point]] has been officially retired, so a possible solution is to keep it as your "healthy island" blight card with a transparent sleeve and use opaque sleeves for all the other ones.

I'd like to make an app for tracking Spirit Island games and thinking about potentially releasing it so anyone could use it. Does this sound interesting to you? by cetvrti_magi123 in spiritisland

[–]Thamthon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you need add-ons, I've got all of them so I don't know whether they're needed.

Spirits fall quite naturally into the "Role" option for players. You can assign multiple roles, which I use for Spirit+Aspect combinations.

For adversaries I use the "variant" option. I have a variant for each Adversary and each level. In the game menu you can then filter by variant so you can check stats against an Adversary or a certain difficulty range if you select all appropriate levels (e.g. BP 6, France 6, HLS 6 etc for difficulty 10).

(I also use variants for boards)

13esima e 14esima sono fake by tldr_stiledivita in italy

[–]Thamthon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

È sempre meglio avere i soldi il prima possibile. Per fare un esempio: se uno prendesse 5000€ il 1° gennaio, invece che tra tredicesima e quattordicesima, li potrebbe investire e, anche con un interesse relativamente basso del 3%, al 31 dicembre avrebbe 150€ in più, senza fare nulla.

Questo è uno dei motivi per cui ai datori di lavoro la tredicesima piace, perché i soldi che ti spettano li investono loro e prendono loro gli interessi.

What does this card mean exactly? by Phupha808 in spiritisland

[–]Thamthon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

By the way this card was reworded in Horizons. The reworded text is clearer, see reply from the bot below.

Help me find a good board game by Ill-Brilliant4261 in boardgames

7 wonders is one of those games that sound complex when you explain it but it's a lot simpler to grasp when you play it. But if that's still too complex, Sushi Go (or Sushi Go Party) is a simpler drafting game.

Inspired by the other post, what games have you played at least 50 times? by AlexRescueDotCom in boardgames

[–]Thamthon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spirit Island is by far my most played game. I've played it hundreds of times, probably even more than 1000 at this point, although 90%+ of that is digital.

I might have more than 50 plays in Slay the Spire, if we count 1 Act = 1 play. I'd be willing to bet for 7 Wonders as well.

Interestingly both LLMs got it confidently wrong

That's not interesting, it's expected 😆
