Welcome to Spirit Island, a co-op game featuring game elements that both Decoy and myself have gone on record saying we absolutely love. However...there is a slight discrepancy, that will lead to some interesting chatter and dealmaking during The Gauntlet. As amazing as it is to type, this could be a new S-Tier game for Decoy, the proverbial hater!
