Pick a fantasy race with a random power, grab land, then send it into decline and start a new one.
Start with Sky Islands.
Adds: A two-sided board of floating islands, seven new races, seven new powers and a storage tray.
Fixes: Lets a 6th player join and adds new land to fight over.
Top pick in reviews. Adds lots of races plus a 6th player while keeping the same feel.
Usually a better fit for a different kind of group — still fine if it sounds fun.
Adds: Eight races and eight powers from the old Be Not Afraid and A Spider's Web packs, plus a storage tray.
Fixes: More race and power combos, so games feel less repetitive.
Good pick if you just want more races and powers. Replaces two older mini-expansions in one box.

Adds: Eight races and ten powers from Cursed!, Grand Dames and Royal Bonus, plus a storage tray.

Adds: 54 Event cards; a new event changes the rules each round, and you can see next round's event.

Adds: Four river maps, harbors, a caravel, pirate ships and an event each turn such as storms or pirates.
For groups who want new maps and events rather than new races. Reviewers don't pick it first.

Adds: Free rules PDF for solo and 2-player games against the Lost Tribes, run by simple rules. Uses the pieces already in your box.
Free to download and plays with the pieces you already own. Grab it if you play alone or with two; skip it if you always have three or more.

Adds: A two-sided 6-player team map (Small World on one side, Underground on the other) with team rules and extra tokens.
Fixes: Lets six people play in teams of two.
Out of print, and used copies now sell for well over $100. Only hunt it down if you often play with exactly six and want team play. Sky Islands also takes six players and is still sold.
