When you buy the expansion pack do you mix the route cards with the original box routes? And do you just use the expansion train cards ? Or oth sets?

No, you do not mix the route cards. The original set has cards much smaller than the expansion pack. Use either the original cards OR the expansion cards never mixed together.

I mix the original routes and the expansion routes together. The only train cards I use are the large ones from the expansion.

You just use the expansion set cards. They are larger and easier to work with, so mixing them would be a bit counter productive.

No--you use the expansion pack instead of cards that come with the game. There are more of them, they are larger and easier to read and manage--same with the train cards. Hope you have as much fun with it as we have.

The expansion cards are a replacement for the original cards. The expansion includes the originals too.

It doesn't really matter. They all work in any order. I mixed 4 expansions with the main deck. I'm going to check out 'Crabs Adjust Humidity' next.

Each expansion adds new cards to the mix. It's not necessary but I definitely recommend picking up all 3 if you are a fan of the game.

I gifted to hubby. You will get an email with a set of codes for each expansion. I believe hubby went to play station store and had an option to redeem codes.You will get instructions on redeeming with your email. If you wanna package it cute, u can always write the codes down on a nice card :) I was too impatient lol just gave him the code off my phone.

Yes. You have to have the original game to use this expansion kit. It literally has four extra sides to make the original game board bigger and has extra hex pieces for the land in the middle and two extra sets of roads, cities, and settlements for the extra two players. Well worth the money if you want to play more than four players. We love this game so much, I have this one set up for 5-6 players and the Star Trek Version of Catan for only 4 or less!!

they come in a box. i went to a gaming store to get a larger box so that the original game and all of the expansion packs can fit in the same box.

I don't know for certain, as I bought this and the expansion both in second edition. I imagine they improved a few things and made the pieces all usable in the same box (for when you have the original and the expansion). The expansion actually comes with pitri dishes for the diseases and a good molded compartment for each pieces of both sets.Honestly not sure what was different in first edition though. I read somewhere that the box was not as good, but I am sure there were other changes as well.

Thomas & Friends playsets/trains come in a variety of styles and sizes. Just make sure your 'styles' match. For example, if you purchase 'take-n-play' trains then you want 'take-n-play' tracks. If you purchase 'trackmaster' tracks then you should purchase 'trackmaster' trains. Hope this helps.

I have Dixit and Journey, Dixit Odyssee is on my wish list. You cannot go wrong with any of them and you will want to add cards anyway. Journey cards are a little less fantasy oriented in the whimsical sense and with less color. It is a great game and I have yet have someone not enjoy it. It does take a few rounds for people to get the hang of it though.

If you read his mission (i.e. boston to miami), then he has to decide on a path to get there, which way he goes is up to him. If more than two people play it could get confusing and someone may take his route, then he has to find another path to his destination. Its really fun and if he likes trains, he will enjoy it even if he just plays it himself. The cards to play are only color trains, no writing on them, only on the mission cards has writing on them.

As far as I can tell, the regular expansion packs are just random hilarious stuff. The bigger blacker box has a hidden card in it. There are also cards in that box that have a box theme.

It comes with a complete set of large-format (by large, they mean standard poker deck size) train cards, as well as a set of large-format destination tickets. The tickets include the set that comes with the original game, as well as additional tickets that are part of the expansion variations.

On the back of my game it says you can get a box of additional cards anywhere toys and games are sold. Not sure how easy that will be though because I had trouble finding the game. Toys R Us and Barnes and Noble didn't have the game when I was looking for it but found it at Amazon. Haven't looked for the additional cards yet as the game has lots of cards and 7 questions on each card.

I would get the starting game as well, the reason being that after you play a deck for so long you start to know all of the cards. The expansions are only a small fraction of the real game, so you will likely reach that point faster. I would recommend getting as many cards as possible so that you are never running out of things or seeing certain cards too many times. Makes the games more creative as well!

Nah, you don't NEED to start with any particular expansion pack, although it is much more enjoyable if you start with the first large box. Just simple Cards Against Humanity, rather than just getting small expansion packs.

Buy the original game first. It has instructions and the most cards. Buy the expansions later.

You can just use an expansion pack but it is way too small to play a real game. Maybe only a few rounds. It is not recommended to play without the original set.
