In this episode, we delve into the spooky world of Fear in Spirit Island. What is Fear? How does it work, and why is it such a crucial part of the game’s identity? From generating Fear through powers and invader destruction, to the payoff of escalating Fear cards and achieving a Fear victory. Whether you're new to the island or a veteran at the game, this episode will give you new ways to think about what scares the invaders most.

We discuss: What Fear represents thematically and mechanically, Spirits and powers that specialize in generating Fear, how Fear cards change the way we feel about the game, value of Fear over anything else. Do we like Fear as a design choice? It's a lot to cover and there's more to be said!
