You must be logged in to post a review.
As Bliss and Gloom struggle for control of the Inside World, a new force enters the fray. Neither judge nor spectator, Balance is an active participant, striving to ensure that no side achieves dominance. Both Bliss and Gloom are important for the health of Cerebria, and Balance seeks a way for them to coexist in harmony.
The Forces of Balance expansion extends the world of Cerebria by adding a third side to the game with two new Spirits; unpredictable Intuition and wise Reason. The Balance game mode makes it possible for six players to play at once, and it also works for fewer numbers of players.
The Balance side has also some new mechanics. Their Emotions, the way they Invoke Emotions, gain Essence or Fortify are all uniquely tied to the playstyle of Balance.
Balance players have their own method to gather final scores during the game. They do not compete for the Common Aspiration. Instead, they have a Hidden Aspiration with two equivalent conditions. Just like Bliss and Gloom, Balance wins by having the most points at the end of the game from Identity Fragments and the Wheel of Intentions.

Must have expansion if you want to play with 3 players. The faction that it adds is by far my favourite and makes the game much harder.

I loved the idea of this expansion, trying to help out whichever team was behind and generally disrupting, but I really didn't like playing as balance. Everything is slightly harder and while you maybe also don't get targeted as much, it's also not always in your interest to do big swing plays so you have to temper yourself. The goals also either seem obviously easy or impossible depending on the board state, without you being able to do much. But the big problem is that I've only played this with 6 players. So much will happen between 6 rounds and you can do so little to affect it that you kind of lose agency in the game. Maybe I'd like this expansion for 3 players, but I also don't think it's bad to play 2 vs 1 so there's no real need. I also don't like that you play fewer rounds. You don't really get going and are forced to go for easy points.

the addon integrates good to the base game, some card texts/icons are hard to interpret now with the neutral factions so even more complexity
