If you are a board game lover, do not hesitate to buy this game and this expansion! It is such a cool game, and with the expansion it has so many different outcomes that my friends and I have literally played it 8 times in a row and not gotten sick of it! The game play is easy to get a hold of, once you read through the rules. There is a lot of reading to be done with each game, so you can't be frightened by rule books. And if you loved the original game, what are you waiting for!! Get the expansion, it only gets better!

I loved the VP chips introduced by Prosperity, and this expansion provides more of those, plus a variety of other cards that do amazing things. I am a big fan of the debt mechanic, and the Landmarks give the game a whole new feel and are really fun to play with. If you love Dominion, this expansion is definitely one you need to check out.

We have played this with and without the expansion and while the expansion adds a great deal of depth and length of play we went back to the base game since it is far easier to explain to new players and generally more fun.  We also love to play civilization but often that game is too long so we see this as a mini civ card game.

This expansion pack is very interesting. This doesn't have to do with the game, but every 25 cents of every purchase of this expansion goes to World Wildlife Fund. The game itself is interesting. there are about 20 creatures on the brink of extinction, and the campaigns that go to the game are well thought out. For example, the hardest one is constructing a 5 star zoo from scratch. If you do this, you unlock an endangered species breeding center, which increases the chances of an endangered creature to have babies. The animals are very good and include the Javan Rhino. Spectacled Bear and other animals. other non-related items include cool sky tram tours and elevated paths. Also included are animal varients which are other skins to the same animal. every so often you adopt a tiger, it may be white or a zebra will have a different stripe pattern. Lastly are the stupid conservation areas which only allow certain items to be let in. it is the one part i wouldn't miss. Overall, this is a great expansion, and is a welcome addition to my zoo

Seriously,  this expansion has transformed the game.

Well worth your money and time. I've never seen such an immersive world.  It is incredibly fun and there are great stories.

Yes, I'll admit it: I am one of those people who has been chomping at the  bit to get my hands on this expansion pack.  I have spent hundreds of hours  playing AOE,ROR,and AOK.  I have only had Conquerors two days, but I've  already finished the Montezuema campaign (I have to work and sleep you  know).  And I started Attilla the Hun before I went to sleep.  We all know  what a terrific game AOK is.  What the folks at Ensemble have done is taken  an already excellent game and made it better. By tweaking some of the old  Civs and adding some unique units, they have given us reason to play some  of the original Civs that we might not have been so found of (the Goths  come to mind). They also added new Campaigns, maps, games (i.e. King of the  Hill), and of course civilizations.  I am not sure if there were  improvements in the graphics, but the artwork of the tropical Yucatan  peninsula rain forests and Aztec buildings is absolutely stunning.  Microsoft and Ensemble have done it again.  I better plan on getting a  little less sleep for the next couple of months.

My brother and I have played the regular version so much we felt like all the strategies were known and easy to recognize. This expansion adds some additional dimensions and alternative good strategies. A Fun Expansion

I love this game. All expansions are great. Hillarious.

This game mode has a LOT to add to the base game, and it's modular so you can choose what features you want to integrate or leave out. The additional role cards and petri storage dishes alone make this a must-own expansion.

Great addition to the game!  The expansion is actually two expansions in one and allows for 6 players.  I feel that in order to play both expansions at the same time 5 or 6 is the number to play with or the buildings don't really come into play.  The new spaces are quite powerful but do come with some drawbacks to discourage players from using them exclusively.  I lost 81 points the first time I played this expansion, be warned.

The dividers for the pieces isn't as robust as the original and in fact mine came broken.  The color of the cards is slightly different on the back, not too different that they would be noticed from a distance.  The Lords for the expansion are very difficult to get the bonus points with.

Pros:
Extra player
new spaces leading to new strategies

Cons:
Inferior dividers for storage

The expansion has no problems, Orcs are a much welcomed addition; the more cards you have the more fun you'll have.

I received the expansion pack rather quickly and the game itself is so much fun (as I knew it would be). I like that now weather is included in the game and other jobs are added to the existing ones. I would definitely recommend this game to my friends.

This expansion creates almost s completely new game with the addition of the new cards. The directions are very clear, and this lives up to the initial expectations the base games set. Overall I love the expansion!

Girlfriend used my account to purchase this. She loves the expansion and I will probably play it as well at some point. New locations, characters and more! If you know what this is you probably already know what all is included in the software.
