## Spirit Island

It’s a bit of a weird week here: it’s Spring Break, so my older two are home instead of at school. It’s like a screaming, yelling, crying preview of summer break 😅

Surprising, especially, me last night, I sat down and got another game out on my table. This time, it was **Spirit Island**. I’ve spent a _lot_ of my spare time lately watching a few different Youtube/streamers play Spirit Island (they make it look so easy!). I decided it was time to not let them have all the fun!

I started off with a totally randomized setup:

- Board A: Sun-Bright Whirlwind
- Scenario: Blitz
- Adversary: Brandenburg-Prussia Level 0

Man, I hated _Blitz_ mode, especially with Sun-Bright Whirlwind. I got into a position where I wasn’t really losing, but I also wasn’t winning and the road to victory was just not looking all that fun… so I reset and went in a different direction!

- Board A: Thunderspeaker
- Scenario: None
- Adversary: None

So, I ended up in “Difficulty 0” instead of “Difficulty 1”, technically. I had pretty good control of the game at most times and I managed to get a lot of Thunderspeaker-friendly minors pretty quick – unfortunately, it was a lot of Slow powers. So, then, [**SKY STRETCHES TO SHORE**](https://www.spiritislandwiki.com/index.php?title=Sky_Stretches_to_Shore) became the path to victory, though [**GIFT OF TWINNED DAYS**](https://www.spiritislandwiki.com/index.php?title=Gift_of_Twinned_Days) was also pivotal to keeping the Dahan safe by spamming a single **Defense** , often, multiple times.

Oddly, now I feel like I’m _worse_ at this game than I did before, because I’ve seen Youtubers/streamers play at high levels and yet my Difficulty 0 game was surprisingly uninspired.

I guess I just need to play more.
