Cardboard Court Ep. 20: Expansion or New Game? 🎲 | Which Would You Rather Have?
Podcast Description: 🎲 You’ve got money for ONE box. Do you expand a game you already love—or bring home an entirely new game?
In Episode 16 of Cardboard Court, we tackle a question every board gamer eventually faces: Would you rather buy an expansion or an entirely new board game?
Expansions can breathe new life into an old favorite, adding new characters, maps, mechanics, strategies, and ways to play. But a brand-new game gives you a completely fresh experience—and maybe your next favorite game!
⚖️ In This Episode:
- 📦 Why we love board game expansions
- 🆕 The excitement of discovering a completely new game
- 💰 Where would we rather spend our gaming budget?
- 🔄 Can expansions keep a favorite game fresh?
- 😬 When does a game have TOO many expansions?
- 🗄️ The shelf-space problem
- 🎲 Would we rather have more content or more games?
- ❤️ Expanding a game we already love vs. taking a chance on something new
- 🏆 Which option would each of us choose?
And, of course, there may be a little disagreement around the Cardboard Court table!
💬 Now we want YOUR verdict: If someone handed you enough money for either one expansion or one brand-new board game, which would you choose?
Tell us in the comments—and let us know which expansion or new game you’d buy!
