Welcome to The BlunderSpeaker Show, a podcast and playthrough channel dedicated entirely to the boardgame Spirit Island!
This is a very special episode of the show, marking the first guest to make an appearance. And what a guest it is - the wonderfully talented Ted Vessenes! We talk through everything in the game, from mistakes to triumphs, from past to future.
This episode is landing at a dreadfully unfortunate time for Spirit Island, Greater than Games, and the board game industry as a whole. I once again extend my sympathies to all those affected by the news that GtG will greatly reduce staff and projects effective immediately. I only hope that this interview, and the joy I experienced in it, can offer a bit of comfort, happiness and perhaps even hope for others during this sad time.
Whether you're new to the game and think you'd enjoy it, or are a a seasoned veteran here to refine your gameplay with tips and tricks, I've got something for everyone and you will fit right in. Don't forget to get involved in the chat - community integration is what this show is all about. Enjoy the show!
