Just played it for the first time even though I read some ad reviews. You know what, it's not great, but t's not horrible. I like the swans. The moats are pretty good. Not a big fan of the secret passages. I love having new rooms to choose from. Overall, it is pretty good.

Initial Impressions: ---------------------- Module 1 (The Moats): Didn't like them. Reducing the creativity of building a castle, and speeds up the game? Not what I was hoping for. Model 2 (Secret Passages): Not necessary, but somewhat interesting. Would of been a cool promo pack type expansion, but it was cool that it was included in the expansion. Model 3 (Swans): Garbage. 1st off, this reduces the replay-ability of the game since you have to use all the swan tiles... which is terrible. Also, the decision making process on what to price things was already fine, it didn't need another layer for adding a set collection element. I didn't like this module at all, and not sure I would want to play with it again.

Worth it just for the extra rooms. Secret passages and moats are fun for a bit of change if you play the game a lot, but they don't make the game fundamentally better. The swan bit looks confusing and not very interesting.
