Spirit Island: Jagged Earth | Despicable Theft | With Colin

[@Iamwrongbut]

Also want to say that I bought this game because of your Playthroughs, which taught me how to play. Love the way you talk through your moves!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh that's awesome glad to help!!

[@JasonCookingham]

Thank you for the playthrough. Your videos are so clear and easy to follow, and I particularly appreciate the Spirit Island games. I imagine it must be a lot of work. It shows.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh thanks so much!! This game is just stellar I could play it over and over again! Appreciate the comment and you don't want to know how long it took to record this haha!!

[@FrazierJustin]

More Spirit Island playthroughs please!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Roger that!

[@TheRealMrWolf]

YES!!! MORE!!! WE DEMAND MOREEEE!!!!!!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Demand and you shall recieve!!!

[@TheRealMrWolf]

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You know i will!!

[@IamJFD]

Ok i demand more!

[@JedrekVRoscoe]

MOOOOOAR!

[@mrsamtheman80]

Very minor quibble, but at 12:20, you decide on presence placement after the invader explore, but unless Jagged Earth changed it, you set up spirits before the initial explore. Overall though love the playthrough! I guess you will just have to play again now! 😆 😆

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for the catch and for watching!!

[@petergallai469]

It is always nice to see a Terror Victory :) Reclaiming your hand after round and round was a good call to achieve that.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It was fun! Thanks for watching!

[@user-bi6sr6fn4z]

Thanks for explaining everything so well! Really cool spirit picks :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah this was a lot of fun!! Thanks for watching!

[@stevenmckenna1174]

Love seeing more playthroughs of this game! Great video! I do have a question about this senario, it seems to be worded that Thieves are treated as explorers for player actions. Does that mean call of Dahan ways works on them? For your eruption at around 1:08:00 I think you read that wrong. The 'target land' is the land where the presence is destroyed, not the land where the damage is done from the first tier of the ability. The power 'targets' a land where you have presence and then does damage in an adjacent land. This makes sense thematically because the blight goes down where the volcano errupts not were the laval flows. With that in mind you could have targeted that wetland, and since your presence was destroyed in the mountain, you would have also dealt the 6 damage to the mountain with your presenece, then the 3rd tier of the ability would have hit every land adjacent to the 'target land' (the mountain where you destroyed your presence). Again thematically it makes sense, the erruption pours out from the mountains and all the surrounding land is effected. This makes even more sense for the final ability that adds blight to the lands adjacent to the 'Target land' again really hammering in that idea of laval radiating out from a central source in the volcano/mountain. Volcano was a big suprise to me in how fun/thematic it is, when I saw the preview of it I wrote it off but it has already become one of my favourites because of how well it applies the theme. Very well played overall though, especially considering 3 spirits at once and a new senario. Also you can resolve the growth actions in any order, pretty much always is a good idea to take the minor power gain action first so you can make decisions about where you may want to put your presence you may place with that growth action.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You are correct on all accounts!! Thanks so much and what a great game!!

[@rojokongen]

What a great playthrough! Please do more of Spirit Island! 🙂 And also kudos for a very nice production!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much for watching!! Love this game!!

[@WildlyStapled]

Great methodical explanations throughout! Looked like a blast to play

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It was thanks for watching!!

[@Iamwrongbut]

Would recommend checking out Solo Playthrough’s Spirit Island play throughs if you want to see someone play even higher difficulty adversaries, etc. loved the content Colin! Thanks for the time! I can’t imagine playing three spirits at once 😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Heck yeah thanks for watching!

[@beccajohnson8083]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I will play solo with two spirits but I've never tried three - maybe I should give it a go. With the low complexity spirits of course!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It makes your brain hurt in really good ways!! Thanks for watching and good luck!!

[@__xela__]

awesome video! excellent explanation! thanks!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Appreciate you watching!!

[@malkav1120]

A couple points: 1) The order of execution during Invader is Fear, then Event. 2) Each step of an innate power is an independent clause unless otherwise indicated. If you're using more than one part of an innate, you have to do them in the listed order, and if it says "Instead", that does overwrite the previous step, and it all has to apply to the same target unless you're repeating the power. But you can do whatever you have elements for. So you did not have to have the 1 Fire and 3 Plant elements to place a Badlands token in order to use the 2 Plant portion of Lure's Never Heard From Again to destroy Explorers based on tokens. Or any of the later parts of the power, for that matter. 3) Stone's first innate targets itself, not a specific land. It's something you activate for everywhere it has presence, and you don't have to pay the energy until you are placing the blight tokens. 4) This is a matter of personal taste, but I would nearly always allocate damage to destroying cities over towns if you can because cities are much harder to affect in general, and destroying a City and an Explorer would reduce just as much damage and generate just as much fear as destroying two Towns.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks!

[@oneiros]

Actually it is event and then fear effects.

[@Iamwrongbut]

Event is first, then Fear according to Jagged Earth directions.

[@lucasscheper8783]

Perfect spirit choice, they are so thematic and my favorit spirits from jagged earth :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

YES! I wish I had played Lure better, but I really enjoy all 3 of them. I can't wait to try out more!!! Thanks for watching!

[@kevinerskine3299]

Dang, you're either a Spirit Island God yourself or insane to play 3 spirits. Hats off to you my friend.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHA well we have people on our slack and discord that play 6 spirits solo. . . so I got nothing on them! But yes 3 was a little overwhelming. You can tell the 2 spirits I was most comfortable with, and Lure I did not execute well. Still loads of fun and I'd do it again for how much fun I had! Thanks for watching Kevin!

[@IamJFD]

@@OneStopCoopShop yeah there is someone who played with 6 medium complexity jagged earth spirit 🤣🤣🤣

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That just seems like torture!!!

[@kevinerskine3299]

@@OneStopCoopShop 6????? That's nuts. I've played a 3 player game, but 2 solo is enough for me. And I've barely scratched the surface with Adversaries. I think level 2 is the highest I got and I've only played a scenario or 2. Obviously, I need to step up my game. I assume, you highly recommend the expansion?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

So here is the thing, you don't need the expansion to enjoy Spirit Island. It is one of those expansions that simply adds more of everything. If you feel like you have gotten enough out of the base game and branch and claw this is a no brainer. BUT I don't think you NEED this to enjoy the game. It does however take the game up a notch for me personally. Over the past 2 years I played it less and less, but now with new spirits to explore I am all into it again. Really I just can't stop thinking about it! So knowing you Kevin, and how you like to delve into games (thinking of you Mage Knight) I would HIGHLY recommend this expansion to you as it will increase the longevity of the game. Plus some of those spirits are pretty dang cool! Hope that helps!

[@jackrutter9797]

Wow, amazing fear tokens... it's like they've taken the skulls of mini humans..yuk! I just (finally) ordered Spirit Island so you'll be getting a lot more views of OSCS videos while I learn it! :D

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah I really like them too! :) YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS so glad you purchased them hope you enjoy watching an amazing game!

[@G0F15H]

@Jack Rutter Spirit Island is one of my favorite games so I bought the digital version on Steam as well. It is very well done IMO. If you've never played SI then I would recommend trying the digital version. There is a tutorial but more importantly it will highlight the lands that have available actions. This is one of those games where it will take you a few plays before you don't inadvertently break a rule (e.g. playing a power card that you shouldn't have because it requires dahan to be present in a land); it's not so much that the digital version keeps you honest (although it does) but it lets you visually see what is and isn't allowed which then let's you dig into why that action is or isn't allowed. It obviously gets rid of all the setup and tear-down as well so you can bang out more games as you develop a strategy and sample different spirits

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Great suggestions @GoFish!! Appreciate the wonderful insight!

[@jackrutter9797]

@@G0F15H great, thank you I'll check it out!

[@trunkseleste]

Just watched this video! I really loved it but yeah, three spirits is a lot!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That is for darn sure! Thanks for watching!

[@nagaenigma]

Love, love, love this game. Lure Of The Deep Wilderness is my kind of spirit

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I agree such a great great game!! Thanks for watching!

[@xMANGOproject]

I'm sure you can gather ONLY replaced explorers using "Forsake Society...", NOT ALL explorers. Power says: gather any number of THOSE explorers

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sure cool!

[@xMANGOproject]

And i don't think you can play half of a card. If it says "make fear, push dakhan", you must do both if able. Rules says like play as much as it possible. Correct me if i'm wrong. And thx for video!

[@Lestrande]

Another comment: I think you are misreading Lure's first innate a bit. After replacing invaders with Explorers, you can gather any of those newly placed explorers into your own lands. I don't think you can just gather ALL other explorers that were already in that land. Amazing video, though! I was super entertained.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yup you are right thanks for that!!

[@IamJFD]

At @1:00:23 you are only allowed to gather explorers that was replaced, so u can only gather the 2 explorers, not 3 explorers.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sure thanks!

[@IamJFD]

@@OneStopCoopShop also in 1:04:13 you can actually deal 8 damage due to the effect of badlands. But oh well, I must say, playing three jagged earth spirit is really exhausting

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah it was exhausting yet fun!! Thanks for these! Keep em coming

[@davidko9289]

So much to track! This seemed on the same complexity level as the epic LOTR multi hand solo play. I like the modification of skipping the first event card, since it can make the game so swingy. And the thieves work almost like a 3rd faction. Are you using Cthulhu Death May Die tentacles as blight?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah I felt like it was almost that level! I agree the stopping the first event card was a solid choice. GREAT question on the tentacles, they totally look similar! I got mine on the Top Shelf Gamer website! Thanks for watching David, hope you are well!

[@davidko9289]

@@OneStopCoopShop I'm hanging in there. Hope you and your family are doing well too.

[@TheFourOnSix]

Great play through and explanations. One question: in round two, you had two dahan, one invader, and a badlands token. Unless I'm mistaken, invaders deal damage to the dahan and land simultaneously. Wouldn't he then kill one dahan, blight the land, and then die to the surviving dahan?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good question! Actually badlands don't increase damage to the land just to invaders and dahan. So that's why the dahan died but the land did not blight!

[@TheFourOnSix]

@@OneStopCoopShop oh thanks for the explanation. I guess I misread!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

No problem!

[@rpesel]

Just watching you while waiting for my game to arrive...

[@OneStopCoopShop]

How it shows up soon!!

[@catlover0000]

I think the target land is the one where you're destroying presence, so you could have dealt the six to the big wetland.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yup but then placed another blight and that would have cascaded and caused the island to go blighted so I opted out!

[@catlover0000]

My point is, if i'm understanding correctly, you always would have put the blight in the mountain, wherever you dealt the 6 damage.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@catlover0000 Hmmm I disagree , the mountain is the origin land right? the target land would be the wetlands. think of it thematically, I am throwing all this lava into that land it is going to cause blight. At least that is how I read it?

[@catlover0000]

The power itself has a range of zero, so the mountain is both the target and the origin, and then the first effect adds additional damage at range one to that target. Or at least that's how i'm reading it.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Still not sure - I feel like since I am using the power that gives range one it CHANGES the range from 0 to 1, meaning that now my target land is the Wetlands not the mountains. But I can certainly see your point! On to BGG to clarify! Thanks for bringing this up!

[@Muhd_Akmal]

Okay time to play VOLCANO MAAAAAN

Sooo fun!!!

Hey, it looks like during Round 3 you completely forgot to apply the Fear card effect to skip the lowest numbered build on each board!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh that is quite likely!! Thanks for letting me know!

Hmmmm you just need to play at a harder level! We lose all the time!

I need Jagged Earth now !! It was supposed to be for Q4 2020 but now it's Q1 2021 in VF :-(

I'm so sorry!!! It will be worth the wait though!

[@ptitepeluche05]

In the end it turned out to be Q1 2022... The wait was hard ! Anyway, I actually played this scenario yesteday for the first time with Volcano, and my parter played Keeper (with BP 3). It was fun. We won the very last round, the invader deck was empty but we managed to kill all the cities in the fast phase. But we still needed 2 Feat to reach the third Fear level. We had 2 Fear cards so we crossed our finger and... we won :D Are you going to check the new expansion coming out in backerkit this month ?
