Spirit Island box beside 'big savings' badge, all on a green background

In terms of highly-regarded team board games, Spirit Island takes the cake. Its usual price might also take your breath away, but not this week. It’s currently enjoying a deity-sized discount to tie in with this week’s Prime Day sale. (Or the painfully clunky “Prime Big Deal Days,” I should say.)Indeed, you can get Spirit Island at half price right now if you act fast - it’s$44.99 at Amazoninstead of $90, all in honor of Prime Day. Seeing as the god game (where you’re trying to boot colonizers off your island) is so well-rated on community forums such as BoardGameGeek, that’s an offer I think should be on your radar. Especially because it’s one of those board games that rarely sees a reduction.While this is one of the many savings available in October’sPrime Day board game deals, it’s the one that stood out to me the most. I’ve been looking for an excuse to get Spirit Island forages, and this may be my chance.Spirit Island |$89.99$44.99 at AmazonSave $45 -This board game rarely drops below $66 in price, so that Prime Day offer isn’t your run-of-the-mill saving. In fact, this is just a single dollar off Spirit Island’s lowest ever price. Just remember, you need to be a Prime member to access the discount.Buy it if:✅You want a deeper strategy game✅ You prefer working as a teamDon’t buy it if:❌You’d rather fly soloPrice check:💲Walmart | $48.47💲Target | OOS⭐UK price:£89.99£66.69 at ZatuView DealShould you buy Spirit Island?(Image credit: Greater Than Games)Much like Pandemic Legacy and Brass: Birmingham, Spirit Island is the sort of game with a (Taylor Swift voice) big reputation. It’s often considered to be amongst thebest board games, actually. That’s probably why it so stubbornly holds its price.This is all due to clever mechanics that are straightforward but versatile. For starters, it flips the script on a common trope; rather than colonizing the board, you take control of spirits trying to getridof settlers. Secondly, its gameplay is easy to get your head around but remarkably versatile. That’s partially thanks to each spirit playing differently, but also due to the myriad ways you can go about winning.Still outside of your budget? Don’t worry. While this discounted price is a lot better than the usual MSRP that’s closer to $100 / £100,Horizons of Spirit Island- a smaller, more bitesize version that doesn’t lose what makes the original great - is also on offer for Prime Day. It’s currently$15.99 at Amazoninstead of $29.99, which is aggressively reasonable.
