[@hobbyhuman]

This tutorial is clearly superior to all the other Spirit Island tutorials I have seen. Thank you for being so clear and structured!!!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much Aubrey! So glad you see it that way, and hopefully it helps you :)

[@zundulumon]

Now days, when I want to learn a new game, I first check if Meeple University has made a how to play video about it. These are so clear and well done!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Awwww you, thank you so much🙏😍 really appreciate it, those are very meaningful to us 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@KarelPlays]

Incredible explanation. Super clear and very well presented, I now feel completely equipped to both play and explain the game - and watching the video was so engaging that it didn't at all feel like half an hour. Thank you so much!!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you are ready to play!

[@RusselFleming]

Very clear video. I know the draw is to make shorter videos (I watched 3 others) but yours was the best. I really appreciate the thematic overview at the beginning. I plan to use that when teaching the game to my wife. She won't want to sit through a 30 minute video.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Haha great plan! Thanks for the kind words Russel, hope you enjoy this, and your wife likes the game, and you gonna play many games in the future ;D

[@TheDrowningPawn]

Love this game and want to teach it to my friends. The learning curve is pretty high. This is the best rule explanation video I found for this game! Thank you for making it!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much Emerald! Yes a few to be learnt for sure. Hope you enjoy the game! Stella.🙏😀

[@moregamesplease4536]

Just bought this game, thank you so much for this SUPER clear tutorial!! Your voice is soothing, and easy to understand!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad we could help!

[@JohnnyLeyenda]

This video was really helpful for my first try. The rulebook is packed with content and can be a bit daunting at first, the visual aid in this video made it much more clear.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad it helped! :D

[@francopdx]

Thanks for the well-detailed tutorial! I'm playing my first game of Spirit Island this evening and feel much more prepared now.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad this helps. Wooohoo go get the intruders away from the island lol. Thanks for popping in

[@qwertyuiop-hn7su]

Thank you both for this video! We love this game. I can imagine that new player will be very happy about your rule explanations because it is a lot to know but it is of course worth it! By the way, your video looks very professional, you are getting better and better in this.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you Reini. Hope it will be useful for ourselves when we need rules refresher ;P. And thank you yes, we're always try to improve. Hope you have a good day and staying safe!

[@franzie-q6b]

Very clear explanation. Thanks!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much!

[@jpwfilmarchives8076]

I appreciate the straight forwards informative nature of this video. It’s nice to not hear unfunny jokes every 2 minutes.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you you so much for leaving your feedback here JPW. Hope you enjoy the game too!

[@fuzzblightyear145]

Great explanation. thanks!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad it was helpful!🙏🙏 Thank you for your kind words

[@leahpicard7904]

Really helpful video- thank you!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much!

[@sharstei1943]

This was such a great explanation video! Thank you for pointing to things and showing them happen as you explain. I hate the how-to videos where the camera is just on their face and they explain the game for long periods of time while I have no idea which cards or tokens they are talking about. Thank you!!! I will be watching many more of your videos. You are a wonderful teacher.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much Sharstei🥰 glad it helps you. We try😄🙏 .

[@christianvansomeren3760]

Awesome tutorial, thanks!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you Christian!

[@sairam71]

Excellent. Your fcm video is amazing as well.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@edmundolemaitre8210]

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much Edmundo!

[@mattbowden1981]

Great video, thanks!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you Matt!

[@maximemorin7403]

very clear, tks.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks very much🙏

[@zingzingzingbahh]

Great video! One question: During the first invader explore phase (in board setup)... Don't they only go to a single corresponding land next to the ocean? You put them in ALL corresponding lands

[@SimonEBurgess]

Very good video. Good pacing, adequate audio. Thanks! .during growth, I assume you take all actions within the vertical lines on your spirit sheet?

[@MeepleUniversity]

Simon, yes - choose one pair of vertical lines and take all actions between them.

[@russellscott1151]

Super tutorial. Wish I’d looked for this a couple of days ago. Just spent a number of hours over 2 days trying to understand the manual. Seems I got it right though :). So am I right in presuming that in the full game when you pick 4 power cards and select one to keep that all the major and minor power cards are generic so they can all be used by any of the spirits? Hopefully you have a review for Terra Mystica as well as I also have that to learn at some point ! Thank you.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Yes, that's correct, all powers can be used by all spirits. You will likely find, however, that certain powers combo better with your individual spirit, especially with regard to accumulating elementals.

[@MeepleUniversity]

And thank you for the kind words :)

[@MD-et8kz]

Do I add an explorer if the land only has an expired in it.not a city /town

[@libertyprime9307]

7:32 This is the only rule mistake I found in the video. You aren't supposed to place an Explorer in each land of the type revealed in this card. You're supposed to perform an "Explore" action, which is different because that means you only place Explorers in matching lands that contain, or are adjacent to, a City, Town, or Coast. The setup as described in this video makes it harder than it should be.

[@adamschmillen3978]

I think I missed the ‘special rules’ for extra defense - my group lost to the invaders (quickly) every time we played

[@onomastikon7975]

This is a good tutorial. The title is somewhat misleading, I thought this was a strategy guide ("how to play my best")

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much! Ah sowwyyy.

[@mer0vingian]

Quite complicated for a 4 player game

[@MeepleUniversity]

It's quite a complex game ;P

[@s8n123]

Oh so its just like Britishers invading peaceful land

[@MeepleUniversity]

😲

[@hosseinmaroufi2646]

Very good guide, subscribed immediately

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much Hossein!
