The Plum Island Horror: More of a Bad Thing Expansion Review

"Aptly titled The Plum Island Horror: More of a Bad Thing, this expansion adds new content and some errata components for the base game. Expansion Overview: More of a Bad Thing introduces: Three new playable Factions: The Oceanside Construction Co, ZZ's Big Top Circus, and the Monkey Island Cultists. It also includes a revised Island Athletic Club faction from the core game. New Scenarios, including a Nightmare Mode that significantly ratchets up the difficulty."

"When it comes to expansions, I'm on record with I want it to enhance the base game, without adding so much complexity that I feel like I'm learning a whole new game. When expansions rise to that level, I tend to just not use them. Thankfully, More of a Bad Thing falls into the former category. It ups the variety with the game, and the new content is very easy to integrate into the core game."

"For the new stuff, the star of the show is going to be the 3 new factions. As usual, they are all creatively named (loved the Seinfeld references). I think the builder faction was my favorite. They have a lot of unique powers and their faction in general feels pretty flexible for being able to do what you need. The Circus performers are a mobile faction, so this is a good one to reach for if you need"
