Nobody here has mentioned the Travel/Portable Edition yet!

Everything in this set is more compact: the cards, the dice, the tiles. The resource tiles have holes which fit over pegs in the board and the settlements/cities/roads have pegs which fit in their own holes. Very clever layout!

My wife and I have played this in the back seat on road trips, on flights, even on a cruise ship. Outstanding value!

I havent seen any reference to the board or deck expansions here on boardgaming.com…

For those PG veterans who can recite the base deck in their sleep, check out the expansion. It will change your play dramatically.

Also, if you have only played USA and Germany, boy are you missing out! For example, on Korea, from the China/Korea board, there are two separate resource markets to buy from. Careful though, you can only but from one market at a time and the North has no uranium!

Once you have a handle on the base game, Seaside is easy to learn. Seaside and Intrigue tie for best expansions…both offer such different and strategy-changing game play!
