Spirit Island: Branch & Claw

This expansion almost doubles the amount of power cards, giving a huge boost to the already high variability of the base game. I quite like the helper tokens which give you more tools to work with, without adding too many additional rules. I am still undecided on the event cards, some of them offer interesting choices to make, but they can also be overly punishing, ruining your plans without any way to have prepared for it.

Love it! It really adds some interesting twists and new decisions.

A good expansion, with great spirits, and the new mechanics are interesting.

Essential expansion. Doubles the power cards, fear cards, adds a new invader, 2 new spirits, events, tokens... this is just a crazy-rich expansion. The game is not truly complete without it and now that I know the game well and have practice teaching it, I will actually teach with it included. The game didn't feel incomplete without the expansion, but after getting used to it, the base game now feels like it's missing a ton. Also love the 2 new spirits; they're a ton of fun to play.

This expansion is an absolute must. The additional spirits, and powers are great. Tokens and Events fit in seamlessly. France is also a great, wicked adversary.

The event cards add a lot of chaos - sometimes that's fun, sometimes it's a real headache. The new tokens and spirits are great, though.
