About this expansion

Spirit Island: Zunehmende Hitze in Stein und Sand is a low-complexity Spirit Island spirit for 1–6 players, with a play time of approximately 120 minutes.

Known in English as Rising Heat Of Stone And Sand, this spirit follows a clear Weaken-and-Destroy play style. Its effectiveness grows around Sacred Sites, particularly when Towns and Cities are present.

When a Sacred Site is positioned where Towns or Cities stand, all Spirits’ Damage becomes more effective there. This gives the spirit a strong reason to focus attention on populated locations and makes the placement of its Sacred Sites an important part of play.

Rising Heat Of Stone And Sand has an easier time establishing Sacred Sites in Sands and Mountains. It can still create them in any terrain, although doing so requires a little more time.

  • Low-complexity spirit
  • Weaken-and-Destroy play style
  • Special focus on Sacred Sites near Towns and Cities
  • Easier Sacred Site setup in Sands and Mountains

This spirit is the same one included in Horizons of Spirit Island. In Germany, it was published on its own, making this 2023 release a standalone way to obtain the spirit there.

With its focused terrain preferences and support for stronger Damage at Sacred Sites, Spirit Island: Zunehmende Hitze in Stein und Sand offers an approachable spirit concept built around weakening threats and destroying them where its presence is established.
