How many expansion sets are recommended to use at one time? I have the base set and 1 expansion, can I add a 2nd & 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

I have played with the base set, Unnateral Axe, and Pathfinder together and it was fun as usual. that said, if you really want to be sure that the Mace of Sharpness or Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment show up each round, you might want to back off a little.

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.

Both good questions that we also are stumped by...very poor directions! We played with just one deck of cards and no jokers with four people....maybe if you were playing with more people you would use both decks?!

Sorry, I don't know how many sets you can add to the base. That's probably a question for customer service.

Hi! It can definitely be played as a stand alone game, but it works seamlessly with all the other exansions. I think it is fun to mix them all together, it makes for larger decks and the same old cards pop up less. Have fun!

This is the complete game. Each player does not need their own starter deck or booster pack. You can buy more of the booster packs to keep expanding the game and make it more interesting.

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.

The product pictured here (white box, We Didn't Playtest This At All - With Chaos Pack) is the original base game, not an expansion pack. I can't tell you how many cards are in the original deck because we have all the expansions and some cards are mixed together, but there are 15 Chaos cards included. There are also a few blank cards so you can create your own fun. :)

I'd say to buy them all, either get them all at once or as you start to remember certain cards which would diminish the fun. One pack doesn't stand out as anything special but the game itself it a good time by all.

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.

There aren't enough cards in the expansion pack to play with. I recommend you buy the original game and get the expansions as you can.

If you get Intrigue you get a whole second set of treasure and Victory cards, so you would never run out, no matter how many play. The only limitation to players is really time the game takes and number of action card stacks available to buy. You can play with five or even six with just the basic game, but it tends to slow down waiting for the others, so you're better off to split tables. Even with the basic game you have plenty of action cards to provide a full game at two tables. If you'd rather play with six at one table, add an extra stack of action cards so they don't run out too soon. With an expansion you're golden for maybe four tables without cramping their style. I picture four tables, and when they all finish a game, they each pass a couple of stacks to the next table. Now THAT would be interesting. The game comes with enough action cards to provide a lot of variation, and each expansion (except Cornucopia and Alchemy) add at least another 25 so the options are endless. I just advise that for beginning players you start with one stack of cards costing 2 copper, two stacks costing 3, 3 stacks costing 4 and 5 each, and one stack costing 6. Then when you get good at it, you can go for random selection. I wish I could choose between expansions but each has a different focus, and adds an interesting twist.

Hi. There are 2 decks in each box, but if you play with the real rules (included) that's all you need for 4 players. If you want to play with 6 or 8 you will need to buy 2 of these decks. That's what we did. It is a real nice set. This decks only have the cards that the game uses and the "final-count-up" point values are printed right on the front of each card. We've loved playing with this deck.

I'd say more older sets because there are more of those than new, but you usually get a decent amount of new ones. I think someone messed up with the last one I got because it was half gate crash (woo!). If you're looking for new cards look at your local shops for bundles or just buy boosters

You can just use an expansion pack but it is way too small to play a real game. Maybe only a few rounds. It is not recommended to play without the original set.

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.
