jenangelcat Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am officially addicted to this game. I'm going out tomorrow to pick up an expansion for it. Which one should I get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We've never played it without the river expansion. I don't know about any of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mombygrace Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We got it for our family and as a gift for friends. We'll play it today. Thanks for the reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I got the big box with all the expansions for Christmas, but we haven't played yet :blush:. I figured we would start with the base game only and then add on expansions. I will be watching for the carcassonne professionals to post advice. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iucounu Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The first expansion pack I'd start with is also the cheapest: Cult, Siege & Creativity. I believe it's now folded into one of the bigger expansion sets, so you might want to check on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Inns and Cathedrals is one of our favorites if you already have the River expansions. Inns and Cathedrals adds a lot more tiles but doesn't change the game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We own all the expansions except princess and dragons. We bought them because we wanted the extra tiles not necessarily because we cared about the extra complexity of the game. So we use some of the expansion rules but not many (My brain starts to hurt trying to keep up with all the nuances so if I'm playing the kids have to keep it simple). By far the one that is the kids favorite is the one with the catapult. They absolutely adore flinging the little tile around. I can't remember which expansion it came with but it's one of the later ones. I do like the rivers and traders and builders (love that the little builder guy gives you an extra move). Those are the extra rules that we use most. Otherwise we just use the rules from the base game but have a nice long game using up all the tiles.

Lakeside Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Inns and Cathedrals is one of our favorites if you already have the River expansions. Inns and Cathedrals adds a lot more tiles but doesn't change the game play. :iagree: We have several of the expansions. Some of them we've had for quite a while and didn't really change the game dynamic. I think it was when we introduced The Tower that the game really changed.

jenangelcat Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I think I may have trouble picking just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
