How many expansion sets are recommended to use at one time? I have the base set and 1 expansion, can I add a 2nd &amp; 3rd, or will that dilute the deck?

I would say it depends on how many players you had i have 2 expansions and player with 6 people including myself and classes and races seamed to come out pretty slow so if you were playing with 3 people you may only see one perspn with a class amd race at the end of the game i would say grab as many expnsions as you want always leave all the race and class cardsnin but you might want to pull out and reduce the stack depending on the amount of players

It is possible to mix decks, whether or not it is a good idea is another question. More than two decks would definitely be too complicated. But, even with just two decks, something else to be considered is that many to the rules/goals (game winning scenario) are theme and card specific so that you would need to go through many more cards before getting the correct cards and some adaptation to rules might be necessary. These could make the game more complicated.

Good question- I've had some games with that problem, but this one has quite a few cards and has an extension pack you can buy. I play with the same group each time and we have not had much trouble with this.

There are 3 expansions + 2 boosters for a total of 920 cards. 500 from Dominion (base) + 250 from Prosperity + 150 from Alchemy + 10 per booster.I recommend against putting sleeves on all cards because (a) they will not fit in the box storage as expected, and (b) it will make the frequent shuffling required significantly more difficult. Let me know if you have other questions.

I would think so, so far I've only done 4 decks at a time including jokers (8) =216 cards. It does it with ease so I imagine 34 more cards would be doable. It's suppose to do 6 decks at a time so I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem. I run them thru about 3 times to shuffle them really well and alternate small stacks of cards at a time to help mix them up even more. Hope this helps.

I think I got three pairs of duplicates witch one contained three of the same card. The cards you get with this deal are a good base for your deck. But their are no high level/attack cards to base around. So if you got alone of high level cards that need cards to support them then this is for you. But else, you will then need to get some stronger cards. This is off of my experience with my order and as the description says, it is royalty random. So I cannot guarantee that you will get the same amount of duplicates as I did, or any other amount. I hope this helped and if you have another question don't be afraid to ask :)

actually the 5 to 6 player expansion works well with more expansion pieces to play seafarers, I have used it myself to play a few games like this and love it, and the guys who made this also released a pdf file for donators to use multiple expansion pieces to make a complete board, I am sure if you get one you can drop them an email asking for the pdf file

The first time I played, it was a combination of Zombie and Kungfu decks and it was great. The original is great and I would highly suggest it, but you don't have to start out with it. You can get the Zombie and then if you like it, get the original. To me at least the appeal to buy more than one set is to widen the deck after you get bored with the first set. Also before you get the deck there is an online version that teaches you how to play.

Yes you can expand. I did see expansion set on amazon 2 or 4 Piece sets brand must be the same. Or you can buy a second playpen and combine the two.

It's a total crap shoot, you may get lucky and complete the set with missing cards but depending on the randomness of card mixing & packaging, you may get a tremendous amount of duplicates and fall short of completing base set. I have often bought 2-3 boxes to get complete sets of base cards only. The defensive rocks, star player cards are put into packs at much less quantities, so you will not compete those categories by buying just 1 more box. Hope that helps.

The jokers are not used. The game does not specify whether or not to use both decks, so I think you can do whatever you prefer. We use one deck for 2 players and both decks if there are more than 2. Using more cards just makes the rounds last a little longer. I agree, the directions are not the best!

We've used 2 decks for six players and it worked well. The only draw back is that your draw card pile will go down faster, so making a canasta is much more challenging even with a partner.

We actually played w the first set for the past year, no expansion packs. It was fun bc there are so many possible variations. I did get the first and second expansion packs for my daughter this holiday; but I really think you play for a while w/o the expansion packs.

You can stretch to a couple cards, but they're really built for one card, as mentioned. There are other deck packs that are probably closer to what you're looking for. Check out boardgamegeek.com for people storing deck building games for recommendations, too. You'll probably find lots of recommendations from people storing net runner or magic decks.

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

You need enough space to lay out about 2 rows of 8 to 10 cards for each player. And space in the middle for your deck and discard pile. I usually play at home but could probably manage on a smaller table if only two people are playing.

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.
