Sad news this week, as Greater Than Games (Spirit Island’s Publisher) is reducing staff and heading towards shuttering due to tariffs. Donald Trump’s Tariffs have made things very difficult for everyone, including those in the board game industry. It would not be right to ignore this, so join Kalen and Alex in a shorter episode as they talk about what this means for Spirit Island.

BINGO! In this episode, Kalen and Alex dig into randomly selected Minor and Major powers (because oh my goodness there are a LOT of them). How powerful are these cards? What situations are they useful in? Which ones are cool from theme alone? Hope you enjoy the show!

It's Jagged Earth time! This one's a really big box expansion, so big that it's going to get split into two parts for the podcast. Despite that, Kalen and Alex have a ton they want to say just in the first part! Listen in and hear what they think the highs and lows are in Spirit Island's second (and, to date, biggest) expansion.

Due to technical difficulties, we had to split this week’s episode into two pieces, 1a and 1b. The actual part 2 of our Jagged Earth review will come out on a future week.
