How to use

To use Torn Earth, combine the expansion components with the Spirit Island base game components following the setup instructions provided in the expansion rulebook. Choose which modules or scenario elements to include before starting a game, adjust adversary and fear levels as desired to set difficulty, and ensure all players understand any new powers, events or tokens introduced by the expansion. The expansion augments standard setup and play phases rather than replacing them, so continue to follow the core game's turn structure while applying any new rules or interaction effects specified by the expansion.

Introduce Torn Earth modules gradually: start with a single new scenario or component set and increase complexity as players become familiar with the added mechanics. For balanced play, pair new elements with moderate adversary and fear settings, and consult the expansion's rulebook for compatibility notes when combining with other expansions.
