Great video! I always love some good Spirit Island content :) Btw. when you are using innate powers or anything that requires elements, those powers/events don't use up those elements, elements are just there to threshold them. So for example when you have 2 Air and 2 Animal with Many Minds, you don't have to choose which innate power you activate, you have access to both of them.
28:16 per Ravage Timing sidebar on pg7 of Jagged Earth rules, you remove the Strife _before_ the Dahan retaliate, which means that the -1 Health per Strife effect is removed with the Strife token, so you can't destroy both the City and the Town as the City has 3 health at that point.
20:18 Strife doesn't stop an Invader from Ravaging, it prevents it from doing ANY damage during a Range (and is then discarded). It may seem equivalent in effect, but a Ravage that doesn't happen prevents Dahan from counterattacking, whereas preventing damage allows the Dahan to counterattack.
19:21 you don't "spend" elements! You don't discard cards until Time Passes! The Elements displayed on your Power cards and Tracks can be used for " Aided by…" Events - you can also Forget cards for 4 aid (not just Discard them for 2 aid)
5:39 you do flip an Event on round 1 - but it has no effect. You do this because some Adversaries (well, France) add a card to the Event deck and it's important that it turns up on the intended turn. Doing it in all games inculcates the habit for when it's essential to the game.
Many Spirit Island players use dice to show how much Defence there is in a land. This can be helpful when multiple players add Defence to the same Land (each access their own dice), you just add up the dice to find the total Defence. Simples! 😊
Refreshing to see a BG channel that just straight up plays games and shows their gameplay. Not just trying to peddle the next shiny board game

Great to see somebody enthusiastically playing SI. Thanks Tom 👍

haven't played SI in a while, maybe I'll get a play in this weekend!

Catching up on these SI videos has been fun :)
Glad you like them! I’ll have to do some more, there are a ton of spirits I’ve never done

This game... It is always so amazing and crunchy and satisfying
27:44 you forgot to do the bottom parts of the Event!
