About the game

What you do in a play session

Straight from the earth's core, Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot arrives to add another layer of challenge and strategy to Spirit Island! This expansion introduces a brand-new spirit with mechanics that thrive in proximity to invaders, utilizing range-zero offensive and defensive powers. Think of it as a territorial guardian that prefers direct confrontation and isn't afraid to get up close and personal in the fight. One of its innate abilities can even provide a mobility boost if you need to reposition your spirit on the board.

However, don't be fooled, as this spirit has a slightly more limited gameplay track and unique powers that, while potent, require a greater energy investment. This means it shines brighter when dealing with large, concentrated threats rather than a sea of small, scattered invaders. Despite its considered low complexity, managing its resources and anticipating enemy actions are crucial to maximizing its potential.

This spiritual entity, which previously appeared in Horizons of Spirit Island, is now available for fans of the base game, offering a new way to defend the island. Get ready for unique strategies and to feel the earth tremble beneath your feet (and the invaders'). It's a fantastic addition for those who have already mastered Spirit Island and are looking for fresh experiences.
