The Castles of Burgundy: 8th Expansion - Trade Routes

Worth it

Our take: Reddit owners of the Special Edition say they 'always' play with Trade Routes once added (r/boardgames thread on which expansions to combine); it buffs selling goods, an action already in the base game, and adds little overhead. One thread poster likened it to the boats module in Bruges. Evidence is a handful of forum posts, not a full review.
What you need first: Just the base game

What it adds: Trade-route tiles with 3 spaces each. Each player gets 5 tiles (2 players), 4 (3 players) or 3 (4 players) and lines them up under their board; sold goods go onto the route left to right, and you get the bonus shown when the tile's number matches the route space.
What it fixes: Gives selling goods a more varied payoff than the base game's fixed sale spaces.
