Greater Than Games Spirit Island Branch & Claw Expansion Board Game

I wouldn’t even want to play the vanilla version of Spirit Island anymore. While the game is great as a stand-alone, this expansion adds the depth the original game was missing. First let’s start with the events: they add a degree of randomness to the game that makes it more replayable, and less of the same thing over and over again. Mostly they make the game more difficult, but that’s part of the fun.

If youve already spent this much money on a board game, whats $25? Both gods are fun. Good expansion

Package arrived in great shape, on time! Anyone serious about board game fun, must add this to the library.

A great expansion to an already great game.

Adds 2 new spirits as well as tokens for beasts, disease, wilds, and strife. Event deck throws chaos into your well laid plans. Great expansion if the base game ever gets stale!

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.

Love the expansion. It adds so much to the game. Love it.

Wonderful!

I absolutely love this game. The expansion is good and a lot of fun. I do think it would work better with 3-4 players, rather than 2, as some of the powers are slow to start. There are a couple of typos, but they arent major and the pieces are high quality.

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