2nd win out of 3 plays for Horizons of #SpiritIsland

Anyone want to educate me on the expansions and if any are must buys now that the #game is starting to click?

Won a 2-handed #solo #game of Horizons of #SpiritIsland last night.

I dont think I would have pulled it off if it weren't for Eyes Watch From Trees. That spirit is great at running through the fear deck. My other spirit was Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot which was really strong when there were enemies at its site, but it wasn't very mobile.

@spiritisland Got tired of playing the same two-board island layout in Spirit Island, so this week we used the Extra Board option to give us a three-board island, with a lower-level Adversary (Scotland Level 0). Managing the extra board was interesting. I picked Downpour from my stable of semi-familiar Spirits since it's quite mobile, and we got the Invaders under control eventually after an early Town build allowed them to get a foothold onto the extra island board.

I taught Linds her first game of #HorizonsOfSpiritIsland tonight and we won during terror level 2.

I will admit, I think we made some errors at beginning, spreading a cards effects over multiple lands instead of one target land, which might have helped us out. But I do think we played well together, using the strengths of our specific Spirits.

Won my third game of Horizons of Spirit Island, mostly because of this baller card. I was able to use my innate power to keep villages/cities from springing up while playing defense cards to keep the blight down to a reasonable amount.

Then once I got down to the third fear level, the Talons of Lightning card and the Vengeance of the Dead major power cards were able to clean up the few cities that had accumulated.

Ok, so the blight really starts cascading when the game moves into the Explorer III cards.

Is this a case where it's easier to two hand so you have two spirits to synergize? Similar to how in Arkham Horror LCG, I find it much easier to play two investigators rather than the true solo mode. I know that in #HorizonsOfSpiritIsland you will have larger pools of fear and blight but I would have to assume being able to have some sway over larger chunks of the island might help?

Wish me luck as I dive into #solo #HorizonsOfSpiritIsland for the first time ever. I've never even played OG #SpiritIsland
