Summary: Spirits of the Rice Paddy is the latest design and offering by Philip DuBarry, who recently was successful with Skyway Robbery and has a number of games under his belt already. However Spirits of the Rice Paddy certainly looks and sounds different. This a farming themed game, but unlike other farming games, this one has an oriental game and a much more focused and thematic farm: Rice. But this game also comes with some special moves, like being able to use different spirits to boost your abilities and giving you special actions to help you grow your rice. And that is not all, a very interesting drafting system, a water delivery system and managing resources carefully if you want any of that water… But don’t take it from me. Here’s an interview with designer so you can hear it from someone with authority. Hope you enjoy the show!
