    One note, when you first showed a hiker taking the camping action (the tent) you grabbed the weather token too. To be clear, if you choose to camp, you do not take the weather token. You either take the regular actions, including the weather token, OR you camp.

    The game-end year cards were the weakest part of Parks for me. This new replacement idea is so much better. Really looking forward to giving it a try.

    Yes. The inexperienced player might laser focus on that end-of-year goal, which will give him 2 or 3 points... when for a couple of resources he might have been able to visit a park worth the same amount in one quick action without getting caught up in making several specific choices to chase that little end-of-year bump. The end-of-year bonuses should have been worth a whole lot more victory points, IMHO. I try to always keep the number of points you get in perspective when making choices. Two VPs is not much....

    Yeah I agree. The biggest drawback is not being able to put it into the core box. Even the base game you can’t sleeve the cards and get them to fit into the insert. I can overlook these negatives though.

  • @nosrednadnomyar86
    @nosrednadnomyar863 жыл бұрын

    Thank you I agree with everything here. Specifically the box though. Hopefully if the game extends beyond America to a Canadian expansion or what have you, there is a deluxe box that fits the original and the expansions but the insert fits too well in the core set to toss.

    I held off on backing on KS because we enjoy the base game but we didn't play enough to need an expansion yet. Still haven't played it in about a year now. But this does sound like an improvement with the year cards alone.

    Question: When you move back to the core game after playing the Nightfall expansion, should the Nightfall park cards be removed. Or, do the Nightfall park cards stay in the deck and the instant actions are just ignored? Thanks!

    Do you (or anyone else around here) know how the main game plays with just 2 players? Does it hold up and does this expansion make it better at lower player counts?

    I have a question which I hope anyone who has had a few playthrough of Nightfall could answer. My question is this:- The Nightfall expansion has fixed the most glaring flaw from the base game - the Year Cards. When I introduce Parks as a gateway game to non-gamers, would it cause game imbalance if I just replace the original Yearend cards with those in this expansion (i.e. without complicating it with Campsites or the new Nightfall Park cards - some of which allows instant action)? I wish to draw in the casual players and gradually add more decisions into the game when they become interested in the game. Would appreciate any helpful suggestions/guidance here. Thanks.

    I did exactly this. I brought it to a game group, played with 5 people. 3 of us had played before, 2 had not. I played with the base components, except that I substituted the new year cards, and let everyone know the difference. I felt it went very well, and didn't notice any issues.

    Something I think really adds value to the game is to play with the new 24 cards cards from the expansion plus 24 four of the old cards. The new cards are great, specially with the bonus actions and also because some of the cards have the brow label ( 3 ) for example that lets you pay with any resource, (or animal token), something you did not have in the base game. I think this little change plus the new year cards make a big difference.
