I have one copy of the core set. As I'm just getting into the game is it worth it to buy 2? Thanks.

Hi! That depends on what sort of games you play. I currently have 2 because I love to play scenario-based games and use variable point games between 150 and 450 each. I bought two of them at once because I knew I wanted to have at least 6 t/f and 3 x-w. So is more cost effective to buy 2 core sets and the remaining ships separated (to get the unique pilots and habilities). Bottom-line is that you need at least 1 x-w and 1 t/f expansion as long as the core set if you want the cool pilots, so if you test the game and like it I would recommend you to get a copy of each first. But if you already have one of each and want to increase your fleet size I would totally recommend getting another core for price, extra dice and spares (plus the cool box). I hope it helped! May the force be with you!

Buying a second set you will end up with some pieces you don't use - a second damage deck and the second set of maneuver templates for example (unless you intend on playing both sides of a match from your own materials). But there are pieces you will use - the TIE's for example, will save you have to buy two of the handful of TIE expansions you'd want to pick up if playing a TIE swarm. The X-Wing will serve as a rookie to bulk out a Rebel Squad. The dice are essential - many attacks calling for four die, or many defenses adding to the die you need - and the three of each in a single box are simply not enough. I think it's worth the outlay.

I bought two core sets because $40 for another X-wing and two Ties beats spending $45 for an individual X-wing and two individual Ties. However, when you buy the individual sets, you get different pilot and upgrade cards, so the extra $5 may be worth it to you.

hello seth. That really depends on how much your into the game. In theory, you don't need 2 cores. You can play the game with what you dispose. OTher expansions do not only give you the possibility to fly other ships with different maneuver abilities and upgrade capacities, so you probably would want to get more of those. The reason why people get more than one core, besides getting extra dice is cause its the best bargain to get 3 ships. You'll find out how cheap those TIE fighters are, and if you'd like to fly 6 or more, getting extra cores is more economically feasible than just getting more of the separate expansion kits.

there so many answers to that question and yes on all of them, first you get the extra ships and its always fun to have more ships then the dice, some of the expansion cards you get to roll 4 and 5 dice and the one game only gives you 3 then there is the measuring sticks , there never seems to be enough of them so 2 sets is great one for each player and so on and on, and remember to just have fun play on....

I will ask my son and get back with you. I bought the set for him. I know he is happy with the one I bought him.
1668551
Yes. I think so. I actually purchased three copies, and feel that was a good starting point. Cheers.

Yea but it would be a really short game and that's only of you use all the blanks. I would at least recommend Getting the starter box. I have all of the decks that are currently available; I can say that it was truly worth the investment.

Honestly it does not make a difference. There are a few references to one and 2 that you might not 'get', but I don't think you'll miss anything major. Many mechanics are new or changed and everything you'll need to know is explained in game (or left as a puzzle for you to solve, obviously).

I kept mine in the box. Easier to keep it all together. The box is 10"x10"x2". But that's only the starter set. It's fun to use to play once or twice, learn how the game works. But you'll probably want to buy more ships. I ended up buying another core set. It's a great deal, 2 TIEs, 1 X-Wing, another set of dice, for considerably less than you would buy them seperately. Then I bought other ships. So I bought a tackle box to carry it all in. There are plenty of options, but I chose the Plano 1734.Beyond that, yes, all you need is a table to play on. Suggested size is a 3'x3' area. I kept mine in the box. Easier to keep it all together. The box is 10"x10"x2". But that's only the starter set.

Greed. Pure and simple. The game is apparently not made anymore and folks are trying to cash in on "rareness" or "collectability". I bought one back in 2000 for 7 dollars at Dollar General at a clearance rack. I have played it every day since for at least a few minutes...better than reading the paper on the throne :) I was looking to find another one in case this one wears out and have seen the most horrible prices for them. Even used ones on Ebay are 30 bucks or more and over 100 for ones in the package. Hasbro needs to re-release it (with new word lists and maybe upgraded a little)

A core set is basically a set of cards with a lot of the mechanics from earlier sets of Magic. Some are reprints and some are unique. A core set is released every year. The cards will indeed be (mostly) different from prior sets since the majority are unique cards. Wizards has actually stated that the Core sets are made to get newer players into Magic while still keeping veteran players in the game.

Geri, I have never played the second edition before, so I'm not really able to speak to that, but do want to say that the original is SO MUCH FUN!!! I would email the game company and ask them. Look forward to what you find out...

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.

U know in my set I had a Babylon 9 card lol. U can tell these "sets" were thrown together pretty carelessly. Even taking that into account is still a good deal. $20 retail will get u about 60 cards.

This is the base game. There is an expansion but it isn't needed in order to play. I would actually suggest getting familiar with the base game before getting the expansion, if you even want to, later. The expansion gives you these neat petri dishes to hold some of the game pieces in and has a few more job titles and such.

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.

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!

I'd buy the original game. The expansion packs are just different answers you could use. Worth every penny!!

50/50 honestly, i would suggest getting the starter pack first. It starts you off with a little of each land and some good cards. This is a good way to supplement. This will give you a lot of decent cards and some good ones. The downside is that it is lacking in lands. so you have to have lands before buying it. I just bought my 3rd one recently and i have yet to be disappointed in any way.

Yes it's worth buying. You get extra character slots, extra bank slots, 2 mounts, and few things you can sell for like 2k gold. All in all an exceptional value compared to buying each of those things separately.

It is meant to be a fast-paced game and I think more than 5 would be a detriment. You would definitely need to supplement the chips with something so that you don't run out. I would suggest buying two sets if you think you will be playing with more than 5 on a regular basis. But as a best option, I would limit the number to 5 as I think the game would run long and possibly become boring with more than 5.
