About this product
The island fights back in new and unpredictable ways.
Expand Spirit Island with two new Spirits, Events, new adversaries and four types of tokens that change how the Invaders spread.
Call on beasts, wilds, disease and strife as new Spirits and shifting Events bring even more strategy to the defence of Spirit Island.
Product Description
The Invaders are relentless. To drive them from the island, the Spirits must grow, change and discover new ways to fight back.
Spirit Island: Branch & Claw expands the cooperative strategy of Spirit Island with two new Spirits: Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves and Keeper of the Forbidden Wilds, alongside new Powers, Scenarios and the Kingdom of France Adversary.
A new Event Deck makes the Invader Phase less predictable. Each round can bring unexpected changes involving the Invaders, Dahan and wildlife, creating new situations that the Spirits must adapt to together.
Branch & Claw also introduces four new token types:
Beasts can interact with Powers and Events to threaten the Invaders, Wilds can prevent an Explore, Disease can prevent a Build, and Strife can stop a specific Invader from dealing damage.
New Minor and Major Powers, Fear cards, Blight cards, Scenarios and additional challenges create even more possibilities as you work together to protect the island.
Spirit Island: Branch & Claw is an expansion and is not a standalone game. Spirit Island is required to play.

Good to Know
- Core game required: Spirit Island: Branch & Claw cannot be played by itself.
- Best added after learning Spirit Island: The rulebook recommends playing the core game a few times first because Branch & Claw introduces more complicated effects and additional strategic choices.
- Events become part of the Invader Phase: One Event card is resolved each Invader Phase after the Blighted Island effect and before earned Fear cards.
- A Blight Card is required when using the Event Deck: Branch & Claw changes this from optional to required.
- Expansion content can be separated again: Expansion materials are marked so they can be removed when you want to return to the core game.
