I just got Spirit Island and played the intro scenario with my group and we are all itching to try again with different spirits and the full ruleset. It's a really engaging and complex puzzle with an enormous number of emergent strategies.
We are excited for a bigger challenge; the intro scenario felt very easy to us.
My general feeling on this is positive - obviously developers feel K/W is a good investment opportunity and with the housing affordability crisis, the only real solution is to increase supply.
622 new units of 1-bedroom, 1-bed+den, and 2-bedroom... This definitely caters towards younger professionals and couples without kids, but that's also the group primarily affected by affordability, so... Sounds good!
