Version 2.6 Now Available: Observe the Ever-Changing World
An ancient Spirit has arisen to Observe the Ever-Changing World, and finds a new threat with the arrival of the Invaders. It will face many new challenges with new island forms, such as archipelagos of disconnected lands and extra expanses of unoccupied territory. The seventh phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and two new Play Options.
[h2]Spirit: Shifting Memory of Ages[/h2]
An immensely old Spirit that has ascended to great power countless times over the ages − and then destroyed that power each time, severing huge pieces of itself to become small once again. The Invaders’ arrival has pushed it to grow much more quickly than it usually would, re-learning lessons and powers from its deep past in order to fight more effectively.
[h2]Play Option: Archipelagos[/h2]
Instead of laying the Island Boards out as a single island, you can now create two or more smaller islets. Archipelagos are very good at dividing up what board elements a given player most needs to pay attention to, and can make larger games much easier for players to scan and think about.
[h2]Play Option: Extra Island Board[/h2]
You can now include an extra board to defend, with no Spirit starting on it. This provides a different sort of Difficulty boost from Adversaries or Scenarios. The higher Difficulty the game already is, the more Difficulty another board will add.
No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content and features with your existing purchase of Jagged Earth. You can learn more about the new features and associated rules in the How to Play screen.

The Steam Spring Sale starts today! At the end of the sale on March 20th, the full retail price of Jagged Earth ($24.99 USD) will come into effect. Until then, you can still get it at a 10% discount, so don't delay!
[h2]New Multiplayer Feature: Save For Later[/h2]
As Spirit Island games can get more and more complex, it can be a burden to try to complete an online multiplayer game in a single session. In this update, we have added a new feature to save your multiplayer game and continue it later, as many times as you like.
During gameplay, all players can vote together to agree to Save For Later from the multiplayer status panel. After doing so, a Resume Game button will appear on the multiplayer menu screen. From there, you can resume along with the players who were previously in the game.
