Last few days have seen myself and one other start to repel the Hapsburg Monarchy from invading Spirit Island. Only played against levels 1&2 so far. They seem a fun adversary overall, not as brutal as the British ones but definitely thinky and change up plenty about the game. Of note to me has more been using the aspects for the base game low complexity spirits. Used one aspect with each of the 4 so far between us. They do quite a good job changing up what the spirit does and how you think about it. All the complexity increase is real so worthwhile I’d say for the more experienced Spirit Islander.
Also met @lalunaverde and played another excellent game of Terra Mystica. Finaihed just in last and felt I through it away turn 4 with some sloppy sequencing and overreaching for something that wasn’t too valuable.
Lastly we tried out Codex Naturalis which was a reasonably enjoyable spatial little card game. A touch arbitrary but fun for rounding the evening off.
