I wish it wasn't done by Handelabra. I've tried a couple of their digital adaptations (One Deck Dungeon, Aeon's End) and found their general app design to be clunky, very ugly, and generally distracting from the actual game itself.

That said, Spirit Island has been on my "maybe" list for ages, and this would be a good way to see if I like it without dropping $$ for the full game. Decisions, decisions...

I have it. It seems like a solid enough title, but for some reason I just can't get my mind around it, so generally just get frustrated.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

Here's a useful 'how to play' video for the physical game that may help:



And here are some additional tips on how to win provided by the game's designer:

I know how to play in the mechanical/rules sense. It's the strategy needed that trips me up. I just can't seem to think far enough ahead to thwart the AI

In that case, the second video above will definitely help.
