The first expansion for Wildlands, which adds a new faction, the Undead. I liked this, but not as much as the factions from the base game. The Undead have great advantages (6 of them, only 2 symbols) but a HUGE disadvantage (needing 4 cards to claim a shard). This essentially makes them have to use combat to try to win and since they all have 3 health, they are kind of squishy. Also, their cards have much fewer symbols on them and many of the cards have neither of the 2 symbols needed to claim a shard. There is also the scenario included, which allows a player to add an Undead to the board when their character is killed. The figure can move and fight (using eliminated characters symbols), but cannot pick up shards. I didn't try this, but it sounds kind of meh. So, fun but not necessary. Also, they only included 1 extra base. So, if you want to play the Unquiet Dead, you have to use green. That kind of sucks.

It's a fun faction to play, but the "They Won't Stay Down" encounter mode hasn't been very interesting so far.

A jack-of-all trades faction, evoking the undead mob theme with its quickly group movement. Very nice minis, but it lacks the base mini color and crystals just for them.
