About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a master at protecting your island but want something that won't immediately fry your brain, 'Eyes Watch From The Trees' is your new best friend. This expansion introduces a spirit that excels at what it does best: solid defense and steady Fear generation. The real game-changer here is the ability to rally the Dahan to fight back while you are defending your territory. Instead of just trying to stall the invaders' progress, you can turn a defensive move into a lethal counterstrike, using the very strength of nature to repel the threat.

This spirit features low complexity, which is a breath of fresh air when the table is already overflowing with heavy tactical decisions. It is perfect for players who enjoy a more straightforward playstyle focused on area control and ensuring the invaders feel the weight of your presence. Keep in mind that this is the same spirit included in the 'Horizons of Spirit Island' expansion, but it was released as a standalone product in Germany. It's an ideal choice to balance the table or for players who prefer a more tactical, less chaotic approach to resource management and defense. If you love watching an invasion plan crumble while your local allies fight by your side, get ready to dominate the forest!
