- 8 large followers

Dealers and builders
- 24 additional cards which 20 city maps with goods
- 8 pigs
- 8 Builder
- Goods platelets
- No fabric bags for maps

Sheep and hills
- 18 additional cards, which 8 hills, vineyards 8, 2 monastery

- No cloth bag for the sheep! And this is really missed.

So a total of 144 playable cards plus alternatively 1 start card, 12 river cards or 4x4 large Schicksalrad as a starting surface. All additional cards have watermarks, with which they are easily sortable. Even if you do not play any expansion rules, you will probably use most of the cards because more cards are better; the specified season doubles so, at least.

The one with the Schicksalsradmarkierungen means in plain language that one has this relatively conspicuous digits from 1 to 3 are also in the 72-card base game there. The Wheel of Fortune is so to speak the basic game. If you want to play without Schicksalsrad you have to ignore the markings. This can be seen as a disadvantage, but in return you get a further 12 additional cards that you love brings with him, and an alternative starting area. The 12 additional cards partly combinations of city and road, which are rare in the base game or omissions. With this add-on cards we have fewer holes in the game.

The river and the first two expansions, the box has everything you may refer to as "expanded basic equipment". With sheep and hills you have still the latest extension that is not among the worst. Vineyards evaluate the monastery useful and increase hill the strategic aspect of the game. Sheep are a nice gimmick, which is fun for kids and a variety brings in, however much based on luck. Man pulls quasi points from a bag. If you have a. A strategic aspect of the sheep have, however, also, the whole is not arbitrary but always connected to weigh up whether you really invests the map to the sheep meadow or somewhere else but can not put it better. For me, this package is much better than the 2012 Big Box: Mini-extensions have been replaced by a new river, hills and sheep, 8 players and well, the Wheel of Fortune.

The lack of fabric bag for the sheep hurts, but be penalized I can not bring in the light of the scope offered this box. We take a bag from another game, anything you need. Had the box with bags cost 50 cents more? So please.
