Afew years ago, discovering that an extra space was left in the board game box for the game’s expansion would make me feel grateful. How thoughtful – if I ever decide to get an expansion, I won’t need to perform complex Tetris manoeuvres to fit the expansion box onto my board game shelf, I will just add all the extra components to the main base box. However, lately the presence of spare compartments triggers warning bells as it can be the first sign of ‘base game as teaser for the expansions’ syndrome. These games usually have just enough to get you interested and wanting more, and if, just maybe, you got this expansion, oh and that one too, maybe you could have a winner on your hands.
