In the expansion review series, we take a look at a game expansion to discuss whether it is a necessary purchase/addition to one’s collection.

This breakdown is for the excellent two-player game Onitama, and the expansion is named Sensei’s Path, from Arcane Wonders.


This expansion includes 16 Move cards to be added to the base Onitama game box. That’s really all it is.
I do not have much to say on this expansion as it merely adds more of the same to a game that may or may not feel stagnant and samey after a bunch of plays. I personally have not played Onitama near enough to be tired of the base game Move cards, but having more options is always a good thing. Especially when you only have five Move cards each game and base Onitama ships with 16 Move cards as well. Sensei’s Path doubles your Move card arsenal and adds slightly new strategy options to the game.

Is it necessary to own? No. If you like base Onitama the way it is, then there is no need to expand it at all. If the base game Move cards are getting predictable and you play Onitama a whole lot, then pick this up and explore your new options.

Official recommendation: If you suffer from completionist syndrome, as I used to, then get this. If you are looking for more out of Onitama, then get this. If you are looking to add something a little different to the game, check out the Way of the Wind expansion instead.

Serena Valentino’s books are amazing. This is the story of Captain Hook that I never knew that I needed.
We find out how Captain Hook learnt of Neverland in the first place… when he was a child he fell out of his pram and ended up in Neverland. He then spent the rest of his childhood years trying to get back there, when he realised he couldn’t, he decided that he was going to become and pirate and spent all of his years in school learning everything there was to know about pirates and ships so that when he graduated, he could join up and live out his dream.
This book not only gives us a backstory about Captain Hook, but we also have some pirate tales added in, with stories of Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. This just helps to give the book a little more depth around the backstory.
We also get to revisit Circe and Lucinda again, with Lucinda being as deceitful as ever and Circe still trying to fix everything her mothers have messed up. Although I didn’t see the twist at the end coming, but that just made the book better in my opinion.
Although it’s a short book, I didn’t feel like the story was rushed in the slightest. And as with all of the other villains books, I started to feel some sympathy towards Captain Hook and understood how he became the person that he is in Peter Pan.
