Good Expansion Pack by Nausicaa (USA)  5 Stars
November 09, 2009
Pandemic is probably my favorite game ever. So, when they came out with an expansion, of course we purchased it.
I've played with the new role cards, new special event cards, and the new epidemic cards. All have resulted in fun games. There are some new roles that aren't fabulous, but most of them are. And now that the game can be played with up to 6 players, I'm sure I'll play it even more.

| Dominion: Seaside by Rio Grande Games
by Rio Grande Games
Dominion: Seaside is an expansion to both Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue. As such, it does not contain material for a complete game. Specifically, it does not include the basic Treasure, Victory, Curse, or Trash cards. Thus, you will need either the base game or Intrigue to play with this expansion, and you will need to have experience playing Dominion with either of the first two games. It is designed to work with either or both of these sets, and any future expansions that may be published....

Small World " is a zany, light-hearted civilization game in which 2-5 players vie for conquest and control of a board that is simply too small to accommodate them all! Picking the right combination of fantasy races and unique special powers, players must rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory.
Designed by Philippe Keyaerts, as the fantasy...
