First attempt at using was a disaster...although it may not be the fault of the expansion. Probably more due to poor luck of crystal placement and possibly poor strategy on my part. Requiring 4 cards to pick up a crystal instead of the usual 3 is tough though. I'm not giving up after only one attempt though...even though I still prefer playing with Gnomads.

Nice to have as an option. Good to play on the 2-player maps as you can swamp it. Find it strange that the 'Swordsman' is in the range symbol of cards!

My review of the base game mentions The Unquiet Dead: https://therewillbe.games/articles-boardgame-reviews/6148-wildlands-board-game-review Essentially there's nothing wrong with this, but I don't see it adds all that much interest. The dead have more flexible cards, but struggle to pick up crystals: that's about it. The zombie variant might be worthwhile, but the unclear rules make it sound like an afterthought.
