I don’t usually do upgrade packs and TRICKTAKERs was not the one to start on. The replacement “coins” are just pink and white squares. I prefer the look and numbered cardboard version, the replacements for the base game ruler tokens are coloured blank squares. It comes with a bidding dice for the gambler that isn’t needed but I guess is a nod to the OG Japanese game. I do really like the crowns I will be using those, so I guess worth the $6 but not the $12 shipping. There is a cat and a rabbit meeple but I was a little underwhelmed not needed and hard to get all back in the box. You’d have to take out the insert or stash some underneath it.
Cute little game with a tremendous amount of depth and replayability. Love the theme. Highly recommend for anyone who loves trick taking games and fishing on the open waters ❤️
Not the store’s fault, but it’s blatantly obvious this game was designed so that it is best experienced with this deluxified add-on.
The retail version feels like it’s incomplete.
Having said that, the lids don’t snap shut properly, some of the minis were bent.
