Blitz

Difficulty No Change Base Game
Perhaps the Spirits of the Island are not so slow after all. But still, the Invaders are faster.

Setup Changes

Put an additional Blight per player on the Blight Card.
The invaders get an additional set of actions at the end of Setup. (So they will Explore, then Build and Explore.)

Rule Changes

All powers are Fast speed.
Powers which were already Fast speed (or made Fast speed) cost 1 less Energy. (For Innate Powers and Power Cards costing 0, instead gain 1 Energy.)
When Exploring, once per board, add an additional Explorer.
If the Island becomes "Blighted", put 1 less Blight per player on the Blight Card.

Difficulty Notes

Notably Harder: for slow-developing Spirits (e.g., The Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island)
  • if paired with Brandenburg-Prussia (which pushes tempo in a different way)
