After a few plays we've mixed this expansion out and are unlikely to mix it back in. It's not terrible, but with only one very good module, it's a pretty mixed bag: -Moats: These are great. An interesting touch that adds a bit of risk/reward to the game - they're extremely powerful but if you're going to go for them, you really need to commit. May use these still in the future. -Swans: I like that these add another thing to take into consideration when purchasing and ordering the tiles. It makes the tiles a bit harder to value, which is a good thing. This is the part that's most fiddly though, and since the game can already last awhile with AP players we're keeping these out for now. -Secret Passages: NOT a fan. These seem wildly unbalanced - they simply make Living Rooms too good. Even if you forbade their use on Living Rooms (which would be a crap way to solve the problem), you still wouldn't wind up with anything more strategically interesting. They simply inflate the scores for no real reason. In Suburbia, their equivalent at least has a cost associated with them. Just plain bad.

One of the best expansions I've played. Doesn't drag out this streamlined game by adding 'more'- there are no extra turns. Just a couple of new strategic avenues. Of the three add-ons: moats, swans, and secret passages; the secret passages did the least for me. The other two were great and I could see the passages being good in the future. Unlike Farmers of the Moor, an expansion for Agricola, one of my few other 10/10s, I'll definitely always play with this expansion going forward.

所有してるのは日本語版。 まず一番うれしいのはなんといっても追加された部屋タイル。 それと外堀タイルね。 隠し通路は日本語ルールの訳が悪いのか、ルール把握がいまいちできない。 2019/11月売却
