The Branch & Claw Expansion for Spirit Island features: Two new Spirits! (Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves and Keeper of the Forbidden Wilds) A new Adversary!

New Tokens that can be added to the board! Wilds, Disease and Strife Tokens prevent the Invaders from Exploring, Building and Ravaging, respectively, and Beast tokens represent the wild beasts of the land that will help you out when you least expect it.
