No expansions should be count on any record scores. There are many games with higher score and without expansions. Score of 90+ is only worth a brag in the base game. Best scores exceed 100 points without expansions, who knows how much more with expansions. I dont mean anything bad with it. It is no...

no, the night side is not always better. end of conversation.

Also i think it makes you a better player overall if you play with various player counts, since you get familiar with different wonder matchups and strateg...

Despite all the issues, i disagree with the idea of removing poker. I have been an active poker player before and even though i have stopped, it is still nice to play a casual game every now and then. It is like i definitely would not make an account on an actual poker site for it anymore, but in he...
