Quotes (from this video)
- Tiny towns by itself was just so gateway so simple uh with a little bit of depth
- they certainly added some a little more forgiveness in your placement
- i really felt like they they stepped up the complexity here
- the villagers were kind of a way to compensate
- if you like tiny towns for its simplicity then i i would say this even with with currency these might not be your expansions
- the cards aren't the same size as the base game so really annoying
- it's a solid expansion that it doesn't break anything it does enhance it if you want more of tiny towns

Quotes (from this video)
- I probably still like the simplicity of the base game
- I like the base game because once you start adding things like that it takes it from being a pure simple filler into something with a little bit more strategy
- this game can be really brutal
- I like this edition to be honest I like addition the expansion to tiny towns maybe even better than the base game itself
- acorns and the cute kid shape
