Thanks for input all. I cleaned-up with all the mini-expansions on Cundco. Getting in bulk from Europe made sense, even with shipping costs, compared to the high prices charged on eBay for US resellers. I'm looking at reselling my first base set cheap on eBay and then keeping the Big Box along with all the mini-expansions. I also added Abbey and Mayor as well as Bridges, Castles, and Bazaars since those seem to keep with the spirit of the game without introducing radically new dimensions. I'll also get an Anniversary edition in May to round out the set.

Sounds good, hope you enjoy playing with them (one at the time, or all at once  ;D )

Still working through the Big Box. We are trying to play 2-3 games with each addition. Learning the rules and how to apply them is a bit of a challenge and reading the rules is much different than applying them. Difference in theoretical and practical knowledge :-)

And once you'll mix mini expansions that are not in the big box... It'll becomes really though, as interactions with minis are not explained in any rules...  :o

WICA's order of play (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Order_of_Play) and WICA's scoring sequence (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Scoring_During_Turn_Sequence) are a great help when mixing multiple expansions and minis. Note that rules about messages, halflings and double size tiles (and a few others) need to be updated since the last HiG's clarifications.  :yellow-meeple:
