Playing a game with 2 copies of the same expansion

(1/4) > >>

carca82:
Now that we own "Inns and Cathedrals" and "Traders and Builders" twice (as part of Big Box 6 and as standalone expansions) we were thinking about playing a game comprising of:

* Base game (+farmers +abbott)
* Inns and Cathedrals twice
* Traders and Builders twiceDo you ever do this or anything similar to this? We were considering in particular whether some home rules were required. For example:

* 10 points for collecting the most of a type of goods may be not enough anymore (number of goods is 2x the usual), and we are thinking about making them 20 or 15.
* Should we be allowed to use two builder meeples?
* What about two pigs? Does this make any sense anyway?but most importantly:

* Can FOUR chatedrals in the same game be considered a crime of war and be investigated by the UN?

Well, the beauty of board games is that you can make whatever house rule you want, so you can try it out  :)

There is also this house rule which was made up as a way to balance the trade tokens with larger games/other expansions. It makes the point gain scale up with the relative point gain:

"To bring the trade goods in line with the relative scoring of the King and Robber Baron (Count, King and Robber), a player with a majority no longer scores 10 points. Instead, they receive a 10% bonus (or 10 points, whichever is higher) to their total score at the end of the game, after calculating farms and incomplete features, but before calculating any other scores such as those from the King and Robber Baron. Additionally, any player who does not win the majority may be awarded 2 points for every token they own. (Thanks to kissybooboo)"

Halfling:
When we have played with a double set of a single expansion, we used the extra tiles (and tokens) but not the extra meeples/builders/pigs.

We gave the 10 points for the majority of tokens, we didn't double up.

carca82:
We decided for these house rules:

* Two big meeples for each player instead of one
* Every inn/cathedral on a completed road/city gives points to its owner (but if they remain open at the end of the game, the owner loses points!)
* Who gets the most of a type of goods gets 10 points + as many points as the number of tokens for that type they gotWish us good luck!  8)
