GAME mechanics

• Hand Management: In Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate, players control nature spirits defending the island from invaders. Each player has a set of specific power cards that represent the Spirit's unique abilities. Effective management of these cards is crucial, as they determine the actions available each turn. Players must balance between playing cards and saving them for future use, considering energy costs and the synergy between powers to maximize their effectiveness in defending the island.
• Influence / Majority in the Area: The presence of the Spirits is represented by Presence Tokens on the board. These tokens are vital for expanding the Spirits' influence across the island, determining where players can perform their actions and play their power cards. Presence also directly affects the strength of the Spirits' powers, with more tokens leading to an increase in their defensive and offensive capabilities. The strategic positioning of presence tokens is crucial for containing the advance of invaders, clearing areas and joining forces with other Spirits.
• Players with Different Skills: Each Spirit in Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate has a distinct set of skills and a unique style of play. This diversity forces players to adopt different strategies adapted to their specific Spirit. For example, some Spirits are more oriented towards defense and area control, while others focus on directly attacking the invaders or supporting their allies. Cooperation between Spirits of varying abilities is key to stopping the invaders, requiring synergy and efficient collective planning.
• Modular tray: Spirit Island's board is made up of modular hexagonal tiles that can be rearranged to create different maps for each game. This ensures high replayability, with each configuration presenting new challenges and strategic opportunities. Players must adapt their tactics based on the layout of the terrain, the presence of different types of territories, and the location of game objects such as the invaders' villages and cities. The modular board pieces also allow for difficulty scaling and adjustments according to the number of players.
