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.

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

Spirit island is extremely well done. Its more complicated than most board games, especially co-op ones, but is well worth it. The mechanisms work very well and some are rather unique. While it may seem too hard at first, stay with it and youll see that though things may sometimes seem hopeless, gaining a little more power can change the tides completely. Between different boards, spirits (roles), adversaries, and more, this game has lots of variation to make replayability extremely strong. The expansion makes the game even more fun and greatly increases the replayability and variety of each game.

I love this game. It is amazing. Fun. Exciting. Challenging. Awesome.

Again, Slirit Islabd is confusing. This expansion almost doubles the confusion. It adds a lot of complexity and components. Everything is well done though.

Grandkids love it. Way above my head

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

Branch & Claw offers some new material to Spirit Island that works with the original games structure very elegantly. This feels like a true expansion to the original and not just a collection of additional complications bolted onto the design. There is nothing here that, to me, sticks out as over-complicating or extraneous.

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

like it.
