Hi all and happy Easter...

I have just bought the basic game and I am loving it, I am currently considering to get some of the expansions.
But I am not sure what to buy..

Should I go the the release time? (Pharaoh, Dunwich etc)
The card expansions first? or (Pharaoh, Black Goat etc)
The Map expansions first? (Dunwich, Kingsport etc)

Depends on what you're searching for, basically. Probably a card expansion is the best one to widen your game, just to test the knowledge of the basis, and then add a board (my suggestion: go with Dunwich). Anyway, Tibs pointed out, in a similar thread, a couple of interesting articles about the game and its expansions, maybe reading them could help you:

the first link is to have a general idea of each expansion, the second one goes deeper. And deeper. And deeper. But it's great

Awesome, Julia. You saved me the trouble!

Don't leave us hanging! What'd you choose?

I was dead keen on getting Dunwich first, but for the life of me I can't find anyone online selling it in NZ. I guess I'll have to cave and pay exorbitant shipping costs to get it sent over from the States one of these days.

Anyway - I just spotted (& bought) the Curse of the Dark Pharaoh at the local toy store. I know some people have said it isn't the best expansion to go for, but being relatively new to the game, I like how it introduces lots of new cards and content, as well as a few gameplay additions - without being too overwhelming. So for newbs like me, I'd totally recommend it :-)

Heh... I remember when I first bought it I thought it was so difficult ;') and then after playing it for a month or two I realized that it wasn't. Loooong ago ;')
