Personal feedback: You should do more design notes!! I like this because we get to know a lot about a particular game/expansion. Question: Would you always play with this expansion from now on? If not, why? (including the case of first game for some players). Thanks Jamey!
I loved all of the expansions. My favorite part of all of it though was the fact that everything is interchangeable so you can customize the game for you and whoever is playing. Frank did an incredible job with it :)
Loved these new additions! Such a great game. I really liked the bots as I had gotten quite good at knowing how to fill the rooms on the old boat so really challenged me with new ones. Also events were so so apart from the queen rat mechanic which I really enjoyed.
Love it all, but the boat pack was the instant winner for me. Kittens is easy to add every time and almost no reason to play without them. The Beast expansion is extra variety, but feels a little disconnected to the overall game since the beasts are only available in the first round. Might be an unfair scoring advantage for those who do draft a beast, but haven't played it enough yet. I suppose a simple variant is all players can randomly draw a beast in the beginning.

I also liked in this expansion the big box as it included an insert and bigger box to improve storage and setup time.
Wooooow Walter is so incredibly cute!
Also, Isle of Cats is my number #2 game of all time (just in front of Red Rising at #3!) II'd love to see you do a cat themed game one day.

Jamey, where'd you get that t-shirt! Nice Jack Daniels aesthetic. Good vid, too. ;)

The beasts look cool 😃
Also the new boats seem interesting.
I like the whole expansions
So beasts play like Utility Rooms in Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig?

The title says Design Notes, instead of favorite mechanisms.
Indeed, that's correct!
