Greater Than Games Spirit Island Branch & Claw Expansion Board Game

Great, fairly heavyweight co-op game with terrific theming. Its a 3 hour or so playtime if everyone knows what theyre doing, so not a short play at all, but I love this game.

This is the expansion for Spirit Island

Often times expansions add more mechanics that just make the game more complicated without necessarily having a corresponding increase to enjoyment. No so here!

like it.

Wonderful!

More spirits are good

Adds a ton of variety to an already meaty experience. Easy to remove too if you wanna teach the base game separate.

In my opinion this expansion is a must once you figure out the overall strategy for the core spirit island. After playing a while with the core it is a lot easier to win because you know what is going to happen next. This expansion brings much more excitement to the game with added randomness. The thing about these random event cards is that they arent enough to completely lose a game, but enough to have to change your strategy sometimes. I believe I read somewhere that this expansion was supposed to be part of the core, but greater than games just split up part of the game. This is a must buy for anyone who loves spirit island.

The main difference from the base game, and which can make or break this expansion for you, are the event cards.
