“Great addition to the game. The event cards are brutal and add another level of complexity to the game which can really throw you but offer interesting decision making. The tokens really spice things up meaning that certain lands can’t be explored or built on etc whereas the beasts help add fear. A really fun mix of modules you can throw in if you play a lot of the base game.”

“5 big stars! This rating assumes you are a fan of the base game. The Branch and Claw expansion gives you more of the good stuff and with the new tokens and event deck it now adds extra layers which make for a more interesting and challenging experience. One of the big selling points of the base game was how by changing spirits, adding adversaries (and changing their levels) the game remained fresh after multiple plays. This expansion doubles down on that replayability and is a must if you like the base game and probably a good interim step before taking the plunge with Jagged Earth.”

“First encountered this expansion whilst playing Spirit Island on TTS and realised how much more it added to the game. The addition of an Events deck adds more theme and creates more challenging choices. New tokens add more ways to manipulate the island and create new strategic and tactical considerations. Along with all new Powers cards, new Blight cards, a new board extension, and two new Spirits, you're definitely getting bang for your buck. Highly recommended as a first expansion once you've played vanilla Spirit Island a few times.”
