Will this expansion set fit into the standard set's case?

Yes, at least on my set. If you look in the case which came with the original set, you should see the pockets for the expansion set already pre-marked with the new sizes.

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.

Yes. The Base game needed to play the expansion is with it. Its a complete pack.

From what I can gather from the images for the 15th anniversary set I've seen, the hex tiles will fit (they are a bit smaller). The road segments on the board are designed to hold the standard 3rd edition and 4th edition roads - the oversized roads of the anniversary can easily be placed, but they are subject to "catan"-quakes should the board be moved. Also, I'm not sure if the settlements and cities will sit nicely at the corners since the wooden tiles are probably a bit thicker than the cardboard ones of the regular set. The other problem you may have - you will need to get the port pieces to place in the boarders - there is no place for the full size wooden tiles on the board itself. I'd say the official board is probably 75% compatible with the wooden set - you'll need to make some adjustments in order to play on it.

Yes, it is compatibility, but not exactly. Only the backing of 6 optional cards will look different from the original game. You can buy card sleeves for your cards that costs like $1 or $2 and that would solve the problem. But if you don't care about the back of the cards, then it won't matter at all.

You can place everything from all of the previous expansion and core game. The only things that don't fit are the cure vials because the "In The Lab" has larger plastic vials that replace the small wooden tokens. I took photos and posted them so you should be able to see how I organized it all in one box. Go to the product page scroll down to view customer images.

They can be squeezed in but not made for more expansions, to be honest the box has an issue fitting all randomized cards in spot had to split them up

Hi Joe, thomasmunn@hotmail.com, YES - Size = A-OK + a little room 4 expansion. OUTSTANDING PROTECTION for your investment & lifetime guarantee on the box. I SAY "A NO BRAINER! GET IT!" (Especially if you plan on transporting it around.)TC&GB.;

No. As a 'Living Card Game' everything you need to play is in the initial core set you purchase. You can buy expansions to add more elements and cards to the game, but it's not necessary. The nice thing is, there are no 'rare' or hard to find cards, as each expansion comes with the exact same cards, so while you get to customize your deck, you won't feel left out or unable to play if you aren't completely up to date on new sets.

Not 100% sure on expansion. I believe you can on all sets. And yes you can take it down to 2 lanes. That's how you get some of the longer layouts. We have never done that though.

Yes. If I recall correctly, the number of the expansion (e.g. first expansion = 1) is displayed on the front of the card to identify it, but not on the back so as to allow interchangeability without cluing that the cards are different.

I believe YuGiOh cards are slightly smaller than MtG cards, so they should fit.

You could potentially get away with buying the expansions. I would buy the base deck for more options though. I have the base, plus two expansions, and want to buy more.

Yes and check the product description under Manufacturer. It says it includes both expansions made to date and extra cards never released.

don't see why it would not be. the pieces are all made to fit standard catan hexes and replacement hexes are std sizes - for example, the fisherman tile replaces desert tile. this expansion has great replay value and is very versatile - it combines several smaller expansions and you can mix and match. the fisherman expansion is by far my favorite. I still have not tried the barbarian variation yet. basic catan rules are straightforward and these variations just build off it. for example, there is a card deck with events that replaces dice rolls.

The cards come in a small black box that open like a deck of playing cards. There's definitely not enough room in the base game box to fit everything so you'll have to lug all the expansions separate.
