Pros
- Adds some variety if Onitama is the only game owned.
- Doesn't actively hurt or improve the base game.
- The new cards themselves can be interesting.
- The box insert was nice for the base game components.
Cons
- The wind spirit mechanic is found to be useless.
- Does not significantly improve or change the base game.
- Not worth buying separately, better to get other games.
- The expansion doesn't add any more time to the game.
- The 'greater wind spirits' variant might affect the game more, but the standard inclusion is minimal.
