Spirit Island: Branch & Claw Expansion reviews

If you have Spirit Island, this is a must-buy. Next mechanics and event cards add small about of randomness that make the game more interesting and thematic.

Relatively quick for a euro-style engine-building board game. Simple to play yet as complex as you'd like to make it with add-ons. Good to play as a single-player if you can't find someone else to participate. Good also with 2 or 3 people. 4 players can slow play a fraction. 70+ games playing this and still going strong with plenty of interest left in the tank

As well as two more spirits, adds a bunch of mechanics to spice up a game of Spirit Island to add to the richness of the experience and take it a step away from being a completely solvable puzzle. Events and more Island health, scenario cards add a ton of variability and keep things from getting stale.

This small but very full on expansion adds many new rules and events to the game, making the game much less predictable and still not overwhelming or difficult to learn. The new minor and major cards are a refresh on strategy for many other spirits on the base game too.
