The expansion gives you room for some of the base components, which fixes that puzzle problem. The extra options make the game more fun, less demanding, but very crunchy.
thank you for the detailed explanation. Good rating system! I like his game a lot, I own it. I was very excited about the expansion, but the need for keeping two boxes, and the expanded duration make me doubt about it.
Greetings from CPH! Thank you for the review, it confirms my suspicions, and makes me look even more forward to receiving my preorder :) Too bad i wont get to see you in Essen, maybe next year :) have a great Spiel
I'm behind the times; my copy of The White Castle is en route to me now! So I have plenty of time before I'll need an expansion, but I appreciate knowing that it's a "should get." Have fun in Essen!
i feel like the whole appeal and awesomeness of the game is the tightness, the small board, the 9 actions. that's the whole appeal. adding more stuff seems like its just making it more like every other euro out there. Seems against the original ethos of the game
This is one of the few times when "more stuff" doesn't really appeal, since the base game is fun because it's streamlined and doubling the shelf spice required for a "maybe occasionally" expansion doesn't seem worth it. thanks for the video!

i do wish it hadn't increased the game length by 30%, but otherwise quite nice! :)
Thanks for the preview and review. White Castle is one of my favorite games. I have already pre-ordered this expansion and am excited to try it out!!

I’d probably get it later on after playing base White Castle more often. So for me it’s a must have…. but later 😆
I need to have this! White Castle is so good I want more!

Does the expansion content fit into the base game box?
Damn, I’ll need to 3D print another insert for this game 😅
The main question should be, "Does it fix the terrible solo mode?"
If they've improved that, I will definitely get it 😊
There is a fan made solo mode version that works great on BGG for the base game.
@@Flicky669 if I may ask, how to find this fan version? Would like to play it solo!
oh my... really need bigger box

Love White castle and can't wait to add expansion to the collection.
Hope you’ll get a chance to play it soon!
