Is there a core D&amp;D game I need to buy or can I play this standalone?

This is a standalone game that requires nothing else whatsoever. You don't even need to know HOW to play D&D. It can be used as a gateway game for exposing someone that may later want to play D&D but the Wrath of Ashardalon is completely independent. You can add the other two D&D boxed games or play those as standalone as well.

Although this game comes close to a legitimate DnD, due to the DM being handled by the board game makes a difference. It will, however, give you a pretty good idea what DnD is all about. It is a Wrath of Ashardalon is a fun game to play and it also allows you to play solo if you cannot find someone to play with. I highly recommend it.

This isn't an expansion, it's a core set. You don't need a board to play. But if you want a board to keep track of your levels, Munchkin Zombies Deluxe comes with one.

Yes. You can buy it online. When you log into the game, you just go into the store from the main menu. You can buy singular expansions, or the whole thing.

You can buy this, install, and play. However, you will need to install Reign of Chaos before installing Frozen Throne, both of which are included in this battle chest.

Just get this edition, the settlers of Catan 4th edition bundle. It comes with an expansion so 6 people can play at the same time.

This guy helped me figure that out: http://www.squidoo.com/cooperative-games-single-player-games"I was sure I'd like Castle Panic based on the description, but after watching it played on TableTop, I was a little hesitant; while the group was clearly enjoying it, I wasn't sure how the experience would translate for a single player. I took a chance and ordered it anyway, and I haven't been disappointed. It's fun and great for solo play. There are special single player rules for Castle Panic, but they aren't much different from cooperative play; you get an extra card in your hand and you can exchange two cards for new ones from the deck instead of just one." I hope this helps you too.

Hey this is not the D&D 4th edition, it is a separate game of its own with few elements from the D&D series, much easier to play because you don't need a DM or make character sheets. Every player controls the monsters and every player controls their own hero's.

I purchased the core set and then built up with the expansions. I found it gave a little more flexibility and depth to the play. If I recall correctly, there's a fair amount of redundancy with the cards in the core set. You can certainly get by with just one core set for starters, though, if you just want to try it out.

This is the game plus the add-ons. You don't need to buy anything else. Just make sure you have a Steam account.

The game is BASED on 4th edition and ties closely into D&D;, but it isn't D&D; per say. Personally it lead me to get interested in actual D&D; and I enjoy both immensely.

Hi Michael, about the miniatures you have yes they will work fine but will need to download or make your own new monster cards which you can find templates over the internet for that purpose I buy a lot of the old minis and make new monster cards for the mentioned minis to keep my friends entertained. about the old maps well the dungeon tiles that comes on this game are assembled with each other like puzzles and all the actions/powers for PC's (Person Characters) and monsters are based on distance which you count as tiles. I know you can adapt a lot of old and current D&D content into this boardgame is up to you how you want to do it.

No you do not, can be played on its own or with base game. Both are great games.

How about hinterlands? Any thought on that? I'm thinking of picking up Prosperity as the second one. Not sure if I'm ready for the Seaside complexity, and I don't need the extra base game, so unless the rest of intrigue is awesome...

This is the base game. Full board, encounter cards, health and mana counters, 16 chacters or something. Everything you need for hours of adventuring

The beginner's game doesn't really have rules for character generation. You play pre-made characters based around a sort of Firefly-esque theme of life on the outskirts of civilisation. The core book has Force use rules, but it's basically one talent tree.There are to be three core books, and the third will deal more heavily with the Force. That may be the one you want. Edge of the Empire and Age of Rebellion (by all accounts) don't deal much with the subject matter.

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.
