Do any owners of this game have suggestions about the best expansion packs to buy?

Sure, but it depends on which direction you wanna take your game, if you wanna keep it balanced I would get both ace expansions, if you wanna go imperial start adding interceptors and regular tie fighters, stay away of the advance, darth vaser is not so strong with the force. I you rather go rebel an extra x wing is the way to go, and I love to combo kyle katarn's moldy crow, the hwk, and an e wing or a b wing. If you find them at the right price get a millenium falcon and a slave 1 as these ad the challenge of taking down the big ship. Finally on FFG web site there is someone arguing the pros of using a wings. So while it is up to you I would say any of the above are cool, just avoid tie advance and y wings, I found those only slow my squads.

The "aces" and millennium falcon are the best for good dogfights and cool missions.

The Aces pack, and the millennium falcon for the best dog fights and generally cool missions.

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!!

Absolutely. Your character and progress stay as they are and you can continue through both expansion packs.

We bought the 5-6 player extension. It comes with many things: 11 terrain hexes (the parts that make up the bottom of the board, desert, forest, etc), 2 fram piees with harbors, 2 all-sea fram pieces, 2 extra harbor pieces, 2 sets of wooden playing pieces (10 settlements {5 of each of the 2 colors}, 8 cities { 4 of each of the 2 colors}, 30 roads {15 each of the 2 colors}), 25 resource cards, 9 development cards, 28 circular numbered tokens (chits). Hope this helps :)

start with the basic settlers and get the 4-6 player expansion. the extra board space makes the game a lot more fun even with less players.

no, it does not. Yet I would very much recommend purchasing the Cities expansion as well. Gives the game a new flavor and adds interesting complexities, too.

The same as the base game. The expansion just gives better train card, some added destinations and a couple of bonus cards.

We wouldn't recommend playing with just the expansions because 1) they're small and the jokes will get old too quickly, and 2) the writing in the expansions is designed to compliment the main game, so you're getting a set of cards that are bottom-heavy on jokes and which are intended for more experienced players. Then again, you can do whatever you want. We're not the boss of you.

I suppose you could. All the expansion packs provide both types of cards needed to play but they don't provide as many cards as the original game does.

Yeah, all expansion packs are included, I believe this includes the special maps and civs.

I bought this version, the deluxe version, and it is as you said in the description! Hours of fun - even more if you get one of the expansions...

This is a game in itself.... Expansion packs are when u have lots of players or want the game to go on for a long time.... This is my favorite game...

My collection has different codes for each separate expansions. I bought mine 5 months ago from Amazon.

If this is your first purchase of Dixit, either one would be a good purchase as long as you make sure you buy the base game and not just an expansion set. I do prefer the artwork of Dixit Journey more, but in the end they're all good, because you can purchase multiple sets and mix the cards together. I currently have four decks of cards. Enjoy!

Yes! Power up is great. Gives player powers, and bonuses rolling 3 hearts. Halloween expansion is only ok.

Yes, The Complete Edition incorporates the expansion packs Gods and Kings and Brave New World in addition to several scenarios. These are all downloaded from Steam when you do the install. They are not separately loadable or playable though, just incorporated into the final game version.

The expansion packs are just more cards to add to the main game. I didn't notice a change in subject matter so to speak, just more cards to add more opportunity's. The cards have a tendency to be vulgar just like the main game.
