Description
Once again, the World-Tree opens its gateways and the supernatural awakens. But this time it doesn’t just mark the beginning of a new era. With the dawn of a new era, magic that was once believed to be lost flows through the land via the Crystal Path, drawing in new clans from far and wide. There is much to discover but the goal remains the same: Fight to secure a place on the magical throne!
This expansion to the base game Evenfall contains two new clans, a Crystal Path and many new Rituals, Specialists and Places of Power to explore. With a new catalyst - the crystal - you will unveil a new form of magic. Parts of this expansion can be modularly integrated into the base game.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — On my turn, if I'm going to play a card, I can play from my hand or I can grab one of those from the witch's path if I've got what it takes.
- Resource Management — You now there's a new type of resource crystals which are very very hard to get. Um, but if you get them, you can spend them to walk the crystal path.
- Sideboard — There is now a sideboard available... another board with four more cards. That's the witch's path.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a very small box. Doesn't take up much shelf space.
- but it definitely hits above its weight.
- this is not one that makes you insanely powerful and you know just kind of like you know you know does uh you know power inflation, power creep like so many expansions I'm seeing these days that just like kind of fundamentally upset the balance of the original game.
- Minos is a long beast of a game.
- I would not play Emberleaf without this expansion. It is excellent. It's a simple little tweak, but it's a mustave.
- It turns the whole game cooperative, which I got to say I love.
- And I just got to say folks, it is freaking brilliant.
- The Networks Prime Time is the Networks with all the rough edges shaved off
- it becomes so laidback and chillax
- But this game does that better than any other Machioro inspired game, including Machi Koro itself ever has. It destroys all of them, including Space Base.
- it is by far the coolest implementation of a victory point track that the board game industry has ever seen. It is literally the best of class of all time.
- This is an expansion that just makes um, Evenf Fall, a very hard name to remember, Evenfall, deeper and richer.
- Every year, like clockwork, the publishers come out with a new brilliant expansion, and every year it's my number one thing of that month, and System Overload is no different.
- it introduces a new idea and you can see it there on the screen. If you look over in the bottom right of the screen on the boss I'm fighting, there's a die there. Don't worry, you never roll that dice. That die is your intensity marker.
- Evenfall was in my top 10 for the year. It came out a few years ago. I think it's absolutely amazing.
- It is so deep and it's so rich because it borrows an idea from one of my all-time faves, Allesium.
- The best one are these cute Everybody gets this cute little cat that's a little wooden cat that literally hangs off of a wooden hat of one of your little wooden witches and it's the cutest thing you've ever seen.
- it comes with new mages that somehow come up with completely new and interesting ideas that we still have never seen before.
- This is a simple little set of rules that really creates a new and interesting dynamic shifting element that is just a lot of fun.
- It's the best thing I played in the month of May. Aon's end system overload.
