King of Tokyo expansions
Power Up! vs Cthulhu Monster Pack
Short answer: buy Power Up! first. Community pick for first expansion. Halloween's extras include Evolution cards that only work with Power Up!.
Pick Cthulhu Monster Pack first instead if this sounds more like your table: A fun extra monster once you own Power Up!. One reviewer's group dropped the Madness card because it made turns worse for everyone else.
