Spirit Uprising is the Ethereal Expansion to Forsaken Forest. The spirits have broken free from their eternal prison... and they want vengeance! In Spirit Uprising, the role of Spirits changes dramatically, as many cards allow dead players to possess living players, be Reincarnated, and even return to the plane of the living for some ghostly revenge. Spirit Uprising adds levels upon levels of strategy, mind-games, card synergies, and new mechanics to the game. Including in the expansion are 10 game-changing new Roles, eight perilous Destinations, eight terrifying Forest Cards, and over twenty powerful Travelers Cards, including a new card type - Contraptions.
