About the game

What is Spirits of the Wild: Awakening?

Spirits of the Wild: Awakening is a two-player game about collecting colorful stones from a central bowl and giving them as gifts to score points. The object of the game is earn the most points by completing sets of stones on your animal boards. On your turn, you use your action tiles to add and take stones from the bowl, activate powerful spirit power cards, and move Coyote to block your opponent. Special iridescent spirit stones can double your score, but they also close out any animal board you place them on. The game ends when five spirit stones are out of the bag. Players tally their scores, then the player with the most points wins!
