I LOVE this game but also think the steep learning curve for any new entrants into a group which is already familiar with the sets in question gives a big advantage to the veteran players. I also think with too many expansions mixed together you end up with some very interesting and sometimes very dull games (all +money, no +action or +card). The sets are very well-designed to play within themselves, but when mixed with others the results can be mixed. Last, too many mats and tokens to keep track of really detracts from fun with the game. All this being said I have 6 expansions I have picked up with my partner over Craigslist and FB Marketplace and will continue to hunt for more!
