That’s waaaay too much for a starting game). (If you look closely at the map, you can see huge amounts of starting resources per area. The 1-6 Player Map, only from Kickstarterīut, the rules BEG you (seriously) not to play with the large big map until you have played the game a few times. The game plays 1-4 from the base game, but if you want you CAN play 1-6, if either (a) you have the Kickstarter exclusive map (see below) or (b) buy two copies of the game. So, I put out the call to my game group to “Come Learn Spirit Island!” I invited a small group. It was critical I learn the game ahead of time before bringing it to my game group it’s just too much to learn and play without some understanding upfront. It’s a great game, it’s fun, the components are fantastic, but it is by no means a light game. This is probably a “Euro” co-operative game. I have played Spirit Island a number of solo games, and I was ready to bring it to my game group. It appears this will also have a standard box. The very first Secrets of the Lost Tomb had a HUUGE box, but the second printing had a more standard box. I heard the Developer once say “We listened to the people: they want miniatures, and they want a normal sized box”. You’ll also notice it has miniatures galore. It looks like (basically) the same game, but with a Sci-Fi setting. This game just came on Kickstarter today! I loved the original, and I am looking forward to seeing what they did to “modernize” it and bring it to the future. But it influenced the “next generation” of the game … Some people didn’t like that it didn’t have miniatures in the box I personally had no problem with the standees. I have really enjoyed this game: it’s kind of like Arkham Horror meets Betrayal at House on the Hill, but with a story! It’s sort of an RPG-light, with the expanding tiles (laying out like Betrayal at House on the Hill) and exploration reminiscent of Arkham Horror. ( As usual, I got the very first printing which has a huge/different box and different cover than most people have).
