Great expansion!
The addition of the event cards makes the game more variable – you can end your fast power phase hoping that you’ll get an event that will help you out or maybe it will just tip favour towards the invaders and all your carefully laid plans for the ravage won’t be enough anymore.
The tokens are great if you can utilise them well. The addition of being able to say “oh, that land won’t build because it’s diseased” is a great boon and I love the unpredictability of the beasts.
Great expansion, I highly recommend it.

Branch and Claw is a great addition to an already amazing game! Spirit Island is already my favourite co-op game and one of my favourite games in general. This expansion adds some new spirits, new game components and event cards. This takes a great game and makes it better!
