It does, thanks
I'll admit, this was the first game that I expanded to, well, expansions. So maybe it's "grass is greener" syndrome, but man do some of those cards look nice. The change to Hammurabi, for example, may seem small, but not loosing that Military Action... just feels like such an upgrade. I don't know. I'm running solo games now to play around with the new cards/changes, but it just...
feels stronger all around.
But I guess that's true with any game and expansions at first. The real test is if they overshadow the original, or meld in nicely. /shrug. Time will tell I suppose.
