I think a fun general rule could be to try to use the expansion that includes that week's Element of the Week, so we can put into practice some things we might have learned. So, that would be King and Robber Baron for this week.I'm always keen for Traders & Builders, and I know you always want the Phantom, so we're building up something here. I've never actually played any of the other ones you mentioned. I will hopefully get a copy of The Besiegers soon when it becomes available on Cundco, so if it's OK I'd rather wait until I see the real tiles before playing with it online. Beyond that, maybe we should see if anyone else will join in before making a final decision - just to see how many players there are (and how many tiles we might want to use as a result) and what expansions the other players are interested in.
Expansions to be used tonight are the King and Robber Baron, Traders and Builders, the Phantom, and what else? The Tower? German Monasteries?
OK, let's leave out the Tower. (For now. I love the Tower so it will have to make an appearance at some point in the Thursday game!)
The German Monasteries are very simple. If you draw a German monastery, you can either place a monk as per usual or you can place an abbot (the meeple on its side). If you place an abbot, it stays there until the end of the game (unless there are dragons/towers/plagues). At the end of the game, you score one point for each tile that spreads out from the monastery in the four orthogonal directions. If there is a gap in the sequence of tiles, you don't score any points beyond the gap.
I have never played the Flier but it seems simple as well so let's include it. What about one more small one - the Cathars? And what about a River?
