Powerful Spirits have existed on this isolated island for time immemorial. They are both part of the natural world and - at the same time - something beyond nature. Native Islanders, known as the Dahan, have learned how to co-exist with the spirits, but with a healthy dose of fear and reverence. However, now, the island has been "discovered" by invaders from a far-off land. These would-be colonists are taking over the land and upsetting the natural balance, destroying the presence of Spirits as they go. As Spirits, you must grow in power and work together to drive the invaders from your island... before it’s too late!

  The battle of Moytura has begun. In Moytura, you and your opponent command competing factions of the Tuatha Dé Danann, but you are not the only ones struggling for control of ancient Ireland. Three enemy clans act together as a third opponent faction that competes with the players and scores points. Points are gained by having the most influence across Ancient Ireland at the end of each era.  On their turn, a player selects a deity tile (possibly spending worship tokens to reach it), then performs that deity's actions. Deity tiles let players expand their influence and battle enemies according to the deity's unique abilities. On the enemy faction's turn, an activation card is revealed from the deck that expands one of the three clans. Some activation cards are stronger than others, and players must carefully track which clans are most likely to attack and where. Only the player who cleverly outmaneuvers their opponent while carefully keeping the enemy faction in check will be able to secure the victory. Utilize and upgrade the deity powers. Compete against your opponent and a third non-player faction for majority control. Explore dozens of combinations of unique clans and setups. Enjoy a seamless solo or cooperative mode. Contents: 1 game board, 92 follower tokens, 20 wood discs, 3 enemy strongholds, 36 cubes, 60 enemy units, 4 deity tiles, 32 cards
