Posting in the Spirit Island thread.

I play on the app mostly these days, almost always as Sharp Fangs.

The discord server is honestly not as hardcore as people make it out to be.

Yes and no? Part of the reputation comes from new members not realizing what they're getting into when they join a game for the first time. My own experience was a lot of passive aggression at when I was taking longer than the rest of the table to resolve events (literal seconds). I realize this isn't indicative of the discord as a whole, but it's also not isolated to a few people. I would still recommend it to anyone who enjoys Spirit Island, but with the caveat that you need to curate your experience. It's the reason I pretty much just play games on the app with that group.

Got obliterated on turn 3 by Brandonburg-Prussia in the ultimate edge case of an initial explore to sands on board H, Increasing Aggression turn 2, Years of Little Rain turn 3 triggering Tipping Point.

I'll be glad once TP is gone from the app.

The event resolves in the state the island was in when flipped, even if its instructions are carried out later.

Settle in to Hunting Grounds is loving obnoxious in the app. Hope you like clicking 5-6 times what you want your presence to count as every. single. action. for the rest of the turn.

How appropriate for a card Fangs wants, lol.

I play a Blitz a lot at level 0 for fun. It's a good way to to mess around with minor power strats.

Guard the Island's Heart is a breezy way to take on higher difficulty adversaries and I use it to familiarize myself with their multiple rule sets.

Dahan Insurrection rules. It's challenging, but using your buddies as more active participants in freeing their island is good as hell.

My top track Fangs strat is:

Turn 1: G2 + G4, usually with Too Near the Jungle and Teeth Gleam From Darkness. This lets me get Ranging Hunt online and thwart a build while setting up RH for the land that got the build in turn 2.

Turn 2: G1 + G2. Choose Major and look for your good options (Tigers Hunting, Angry Bears, Settle into the Hunting Grounds, Flocking Red Talons, Infestation of Venomous Spiders all synergize with Sharp Fangs really well, but strong defense cards are also helpful). Chuck Terrifying Chase 99% of the time. You can already do so much with just your other three starting cards. Speaking of which, if you get dealt bad options, don't be afraid to chuck the major you just got instead. Fangs has a pretty big head start and you can leverage it to dig through the majors til you get what you want.

Everyone keeps hating on WWB and that's fine, more WWB for me!

Wise, it's very bad.
