I think Spirit Island is way too complicated for what it actually gives you, and my group quit after game 4
Hot take time: everyone in my local group in Boise keeps saying Spirit Island is the best co-op ever made, but we played 4 rounds over 3 weeks and spent more time looking up rules than actually playing. It took us about 2 hours to get through one game because the invader phase kept tripping us up, and honestly the fun to work ratio is way off compared to something like Pandemic. I get that some people love heavy games, but I think a lot of folks say they love it just to look hardcore. Anyone here actually bounce off it and find a co-op that scratches the same itch without the homework?
