Want a deeply cooperative, challenging board game where you defend against colonizing invaders? Look no further than Spirit Island, an excellent game on sale now as part of the Black Friday sale on Amazon.
Spirit Island Board Game for $43.99
A lot of cooperative board games are very family-friendly, but Spirit Island is different. It’s deep and demanding, first and foremost, which means pulling off a victory feels fantastic.
Secondly, it is focused on anti-colonialism, with players taking the roles of elemental gods working together to repel a colonizing invader. Winning means using a combination of your native worshippers and your special elemental powers to predict where the invaders will attack, and casting them back into the oceans from whence they came.
