Once all players have Grown, gained their Energy, and played their Power Cards for this turn, paying their costs as they do, it’s time to proceed on to the Fast Power Phase.

Each Spirit does three things, in the following order: Growth, Gain Energy, Play and Pay for Power cards.

This is the wrap-up phase at the end of each turn.

No

You can’t delay using a Fast Power until the Slow Phase, even if you want to. Use it now or forego it. You don't get your Energy back for foregoing a played Power card.

In Slow Power Phase players resolve Slow Powers, both the Innate Powers printed on their Spirit Panel and any Power Cards they played.

You choose

Powers may be resolved in whatever order the players want, so long as no Power interrupts another partway through

When the game calls for a decision (where Blight cascades to, which Invaders to do Damage to, etc) and it’s not specified who makes it, what do you do? If the decision springs from a Power, the Spirit using the Power makes the decision.

Yes

Any changes to a power carry over to the Repeat — eg: having its Damage increased by Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot, or its Range / Speed boosted by Sun-Bright Whirlwind.

No

In all cases, Repeats never cause further Repeats, so you can’t end up in an infinite loop.

3

The three cards with Repeat are all Major Powers - The Land Thrashes in Furious Pain, Winds of Rust and Atrophy, Powerstorm.

Repeating a Power means “use the Power’s text effects again”. It doesn’t grant the Elements along a card’s left-hand side again, just the text effects.

To Blight pool

Some Powers let you Remove Blight. When you remove Blight from the Island, return it to the Blight Pool.

Yes

Some Powers let you Remove Blight. When you remove Blight from the Island, return it to the Blight Pool.

Reminder tokens

Each player has optional Markers you can use to help you remember that a land is Defended this turn.

Yes

If multiple Defend effects are used in one land, they add together.

No

No, for example “Defend 2” means “Whenever Invaders deal Damage in target land this turn, reduce by 2 the Damage done to the land AND to Dahan.”

Some Powers let you Defend a target land, which reduces Damage done by Invaders to the land and/or Dahan. “Defend 2” means “Whenever Invaders deal Damage in target land this turn, reduce by 2 the Damage done to the land and to Dahan.”

No

Downgrade is a special form of Replace, so it follows all of the Replace rules (doesn’t generate Fear, preserves Damage taken, etc.)

Some effects Downgrade Invaders, representing gradual population loss. To Downgrade an Invader, Replace it with the next smallest Invader piece. Downgrade is a special form of Replace, so it follows all of the Replace rules (doesn’t generate Fear, preserves Damage taken, etc.)

It is Destroyed

To Replace an Invader: first you remove the Invader, then you put something else in its place. A Replaced Invader keeps any Damage it had. If the new Invaders thus has Damage dealt to it equal to its Health, it is Destroyed.

To Replace an Invader: first you remove the Invader, then you put something else in its place. A Replaced Invader keeps any Damage it had. Removing or Replacing Town or City tokens DON'T generate Fear.

Removing or Replacing Town or City tokens DON'T generate Fear, while Destorying them - does.

No

Some effects Remove Invaders, representing them fleeing in terror. Return the specified pieces to the supply. Removing or Replacing Town or City tokens DON'T generate Fear.

Some effects Remove Invaders, representing them fleeing in terror. Return the specified pieces to the supply. Removing or Replacing Town or City tokens DON'T generate Fear.

Yes, for some

Destroying a Town generates 1 Fear and Destroying a City generates 2 Fear, but Removing or Replacing does not.

Many Powers Destroy Invaders outright. Return the specified pieces to the supply. Additionaly, Invaders and Dahan are Destroyed when they are deal Damage equal to their Health.

No

Any time a Power, Fear Card, or other game rule does Damage, it always means “Damage to Invaders” unless explicitly specified otherwise. Most Spirit Powers do not harm the land or Dahan.

Yes

You can only Push into a valid adjacent land, not off the board or into the Ocean.

Yes

Gather only pulls things in from lands adjacent to the target; boosts to a Power’s Range do not affect Gathering distance.

No

If Gathering multiple things, they may come from different adjacent lands.

Other lands

You can only Push into a valid land, not off the board or into the Ocean.

No

If Pushing multiple things, they may go to different lands or not, as you wish.

This is the exact reverse of Gather. Push means “Move that many things out of the target land, to adjacent land(s)”.

This is the exact reverse of Push. Gather means “Move that many things into the target land from land(s) adjacent to it”.

No limitations

You may choose to Reclaim cards even if you still have cards in hand or even if you don't have any cards in your discard pile.

You may Reclaim cards by choosing your first Growth option at the begining of each Spirit Phase.

Reclaiming cards is an ability that allows you to return your previously played Power cards back to your hand.

Almost any

To Forget a Power card, you permanently lose a Power Card from your hand, discard pile, or in play. If you forget a card that you had in play, but haven't resolved yet, you lose its Elements and won't get to resolve it. You also don't get back the Energy spent to play that card.

Yes

You may choose to Forget a Major Power card that you have just Gained.

Yes

Each time you Gain a Major Power card, you must permanently lose one of your cards.

Yes

New Power Cards always go into your hand and can used in the same turn when you Gain them.

Yes

Whenever you’re told to “Gain a Power Card”: choose whether you’re gaining a Minor or Major Power.

For Reminders

A few Powers have temporary effects on a land. You may use Reminder tokens to mark such lands. Just remember to remove them at the end of the turn!

No

A golden rule goes as follows - One Land! One Turn! One Use!

No

All effects stay in play only for a single turn. A golden rule goes as follows - One Land! One Turn! One Use!

No

A golden rule goes as follows - One Land! One Turn! One Use!

A Range of 0 means a land where you have Presence.

No

There is no limit to how many Elements you can have. You gain Elements from playing Power cards as well as from your Spirit's Progression tracks. While a Power Card is in Play, you have the Elements shown.

There are eight Elements: Sun, Moon, Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Plant, and Animal. Elements are required to use your Spirits' Innate Power, which is an additional free action.

Each Spirit has their own Special Rule that changes the way they play.

Yes

Sometimes, it is beneficial to play Power cards just to receive Elements from them, and not for their main effects.

Range - how many lands away from your Presence you can use a Power or effect.

Power's Speed determines in which Phase will it be resolved - before or after Invaders take their actions.

No

Optional effects which may only be used if the Spirit has gained certain Elements this turn. The required Elements are not “used up”; the threshold is simply a check to see if they are in play.

Yes

You receive Elements from all your played Power cards even if you haven't yet resolved them or decide to not resolve their effects.

All player cards are generaly called Power cards. There are a total of three types of Power cards - Unique, Minor and Majot Power cards.

2 Damage

Each surviving Dahan deal 2 Damage to Invaders after they finish their Ravage action in a land with Dahan.

Yes

All damaged Invaders as well as Dahan get healed at the end of each round.

2 Health

Each Dahan has 2 Health in total. If they receive 1 Damage, turn them to the Damaged side.

No

If Dahan get Destroyed because of the Invaders or your Powers, they get removed from the board.

Yes

You choose to which Invaders Dahan will deal Damage, as long as they are all present in the same land.

No

Dahan are symbolising the native, semi-nomadic human inhabitants of the Island. You don't control them, but you may move them around the Island as a result of your Powers and if you Defend them from the Invaders, they will fight them back.

The Dahan are the native, semi-nomadic human inhabitants of the Island. They coexist well with the land and the Spirits. They also aren’t too thrilled about the Invaders’ colonization, but are wary of initiating violence.

Yes.

Blight added to lands during the game requires you to Destroy one Presence from each Spirit with Presence in those lands. It doesn't matter what is the reason of Blight appearing on the Island, it always requires you to Destroy Presence in those lands.

Yes.

Yes.

If you add Blight to an adjacent land as a result of a Cascade and it also already has Blight in it, you must Cascade from that land again, etc.

No

You only add one additional Blight to any one adjacent land from a Cascade.

Cascade: If the land already has any Blight and you need to add another Bllight to it, you also add one additional Blight to any one adjacent land.

No

Destroy one Presence from each Spirit with Presence in a land to which you add a Blilght token. This is true even if Blight is added as a result of a Cascade.

After Setup, whenever you add Blight to a land, in that land, Destroy one Presence from each Spirit with Presence there (including when Blight cascades). Destroyed Presence is placed next to the Island, not returned to the Spirit Panels. Additionally, if the Blight pool is ever empty, you lose the game.

From the Blight pool

When you add Blight to the Island during play, take it from the Blight Pool.

Invaders slowly but inexorably Blight the land. A certain amount of Blight is normal in nature — such as damage from a forest fire — but too much will overwhelm the Island.

If a City take a second damage, put an Energy Marker by it to note that it has taken another damage.

Different Invader pieces have different amount of Health. Explorers have 1 Helath, Towns have 2 Health and Cities have 3 Health. If 1 damage is dealt to Towns or Cities, you flip their tokens to the other side.

Yes

All dealt Damage is healed at the end of each round. To fully Destroy an Invader Town or City, you must do so in a single turn.

Source of Invaders is important during Invader Explore action. New Explorers only appear in lands that have or are adjacent to source of Invaders and those are - Town, Cities and Ocean.

No

Invaders don't directly attack or damage Spirits. Invaders only damage the land and Dahan as a result of their Ravage action.

Invaders is a general term that refers to Explorers, Towns and Cities.

Yes

You resolve the base effect and all threshold effects that you meet, in order from top to bottom. You may also choose to skip using any of the achieved effects, unless it says that it is mandatory.

Not really

Innate Power effects operate as thresholds. You resolve the base effect and all threshold effects that you meet, in order from top to bottom. Exception: If a threshold says “Instead”, it replaces the effects of previous levels.

No

Innate Powers don't count for the sake of Card Play limit and are basically an additional free action you can perform each turn.

Each Spirit has their own unique Innate Power. Each Innate Power has their own Speed, Range and Target, but they don't cost Energy to use. Rather they require you to have enough Elements to use their bonuses. Innate Powers don't count for the sake of Card Play limit and are basically an additional free action you can perform each turn.
