This is the only expansion I own for this game at the moment, so I am not sure what the others bring to the table, exactly. However, I will say that this expansion fixes just about every complaint we had about the base game. The rule book is more inclusive and there are some much appreciated additions. We have yet to mix the two games, as this game plays wonderfully all on it’s own, but it is an option. The times we do go back to the base game we always use the rule set from this expansion.

We initially bought this game based on our love for zombies and wanting to get into some different types of games. It definitely has some areas that need tweeking, but this is addressed in the expansions. My only real gripe is that even after playing this game dozens of times over the last couple years we still frequently have to resort to the rule book. There are so many different situations that remembering all the rules can be a challenge. With that being said, my 6 year old son is able to grasp the basic rules and play along with us, with some mentoring of course.

To me, this is a must play in the strategy category. It may have some frustrating times as your success is based partially on the roll of the dice, but your strategy can over come the odds. We taught this to our kids at a young age, just as we were taught at a young age. What a great way to get the mind thinking. There are also chances to learn cooperation, alliances, and backstabbing, aspects that carry over into many other games.
