Kingdom Builder
YourMathTeacher:
Does anyone have this game? My wife got it for me for Christmas. Apparently it was an Amazon Lightning Deal for $9 with free shipping, so she couldn't pass it up.
If anyone plays, do you have any expansions? Does anyone recommend any of the expansions?
Josh:
I don't own it, but my cousin does and I've played it a few times. It's a good game. I'd buy it for $9 for sure ;)
I am not sure if we played with any expansions. I think we did. I can check with him to confirm.

I have it, and we like it a lot. $9 is an excellent deal for it, and I think you found a real winner for that price. It is a quick and easy version of Settlers when we don't have time for Settlers. Yet unique enough that it doesn't feel like a rip off of Settlers.
I have the expansion that adds a 5th player (I forget the name at the moment as it is back home and I'm with family). That expansion adds more diversity to a game that is already full of diversity. Some of the new abilities are great and some are bland just like the original game's powers. The biggest win for my family is that it added the 5th player, so that more of us can play it because there are 6 of us.

I believe that is the "Nomads" expansion, which is the one I was considering since I also have a larger playgroup. But I didn't want to pay twice as much for the expansion as I did the original just to add another color. I have plenty of game pieces from other games to add a fifth player.

This is the kind of information I was looking for. Does the expansion add more game boards with new locations? How many? I assume that there are also new Kingdom Cards that give new ways to earn gold (victory points). I guess the real question is whether these additional boards and cards are worth the cost of the expansion.
soul seeker:
When I am done visiting with family, I will pull my copy out and answer the expansion question more thoroughly. It will be after the new year. It will be a welcomed break from the other conversations that I will be having that week.
