   Must-have since I love the base game. The best kind of expansion as it adds 10 more civilizations which is the main variability of the game as each plays differently. I really like the extra starting building project mission as well, going last does not feel that disadvantage anymore. And it also comes with more painted miniatures which is really nice and similar quality as the base game.

   See Tapestry (2019) Easy to add "more stuff" expansion that adds to the replayability without bloating anything. This will not change your opinion on the base game either way, but if you play it often it is a must-have. These kinds of expansions are my favorite as I don't have to consult two different manuals when looking up a rule or when I'm trying to remember the game. I would have liked to see a reprint of the revised civilizations included in this set though instead of just a mention in the rulebook.

   This is a nice addition to the Tapestry base game. Mostly it's adding more variety to give even more combinations of things to do. It does add one new gameplay element, but most of what's nice about this expansion is improvements to the organization and clarity of the base game. 3 best things about this expansion: - The bag to hold the exploration tiles. Game changer. Much more organized to put away, to have on the playing space, all of it. - The landmark tiles for the advancement tracks. It's nice to have that clear visual reminder on the track itself for whether or not that building has been taken by another player yet or not. - The landmark cards. Each card has a requirement you and only you need to meet to get an extra landmark building. Nice way to help fill in your capital city.
