I was looking for a fun but reasonably complicated coop boardgame. I stumbled across Spirit Island at the local store and it seems like the game I'm looking for. Before shelling out the equivalent of $100 on something that might only get played once, I would like to ask if anyone has any experience with it?

I'm a fan. The game is complicated -- it will take a session or two for all but experienced board gamers to wrap their brains around the various interlocking game mechanics. But theme/narrative/art/design elements are all very appealing, and the cooperative element is very strong and gameplay is well designed, with players pooling strategy, powers, effects and tactics to hold back the tide of the settlers (who, in this game, are the bad guys). Replayability seems strong too, even before investing in expansions. (One expansion is already out -- another is scheduled.) This has quickly become one of my favorite boardgames.

Thank you for your opinion, complicated sounds great and the cooperative element is exactly what I'm looking. I'm going to take the leap and try to get some games in over the Easter weekend.
