Heart of the Wildfire is a joyous Spirit of fire, destruction, and (maybe eventually) renewal. Mechanically, it's medium-complexity, extreme-offense, and blights the land as it spreads. This is the same spirit as is included in Spirit Island: Promo Pack 1; in Germany, it was published on its own.
Spirit Island: Seele des Flächenbrands supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

The catalogue lists Spirit Island: Seele des Flächenbrands as an expansion for Spirit Island.
