NOTE: most expansion just add complexity (not fun) so choose carefully! Probably only choose 2 or at most 3 expansions because as you keep adding more and more tiles, they get diluted and you rarely see the new expansion tiles! PLUS with too many expansions, the game takes A REALLY LONG TIME TO PLAY!
***See bottom of this page for the expansions that I have (many with links)
Here is a playlist of over 90 videos about nearly all of the expansions!

Analysis Paralysis and Play Time => the FIX: Draw tile at end of turn instead of start of turn

Perudo (aka Liar’s Dice)
Tripoley
NOTE: we have been playing Tripoley at our house for years (over a decade). We have our OWN set of rules! (yes, the do not match the videos online that show how to play).
Everyone gets two racks of poker chips of the color of their choice (we have over 10 colors)
To start a hand, everyone puts one chip of their color on each of the spots on the tripoley board.
Doomlings
Doomlings is a fairly quick game played with a unique card system (over 100 different cards). It is just going into manufacturing now and should be delivered in December.
I liked it so much that I created a website for it … which now has over 150 articles!
And the game designers even sent me a prototype of the game! So we can play it now! Anytime we want! I’m ready for a game of Doomlings!
