How is the Bitoku expansion in terms of extra rules and table space? Are you planning to leave it in permanently? And the most important question, does it fit in the base box?
The rules are easy and don’t change much. If you understand the base game the expansion is easy peasy to learn. Everything but the festival cards fit on the board so you need 20 cm^2 more space. The lake tiles I’ll keep for sure, they make the lake actions/Kodamas more interesting. The rocks as well, they are just extra rocks. The double cards are ok. Didn’t see them being overpowered yet. Festival cards I’ll use depending on the crowed. Some don’t like surprises. Maybe only use the blue ones for a nice play and only take the red against your archenemy. Furthermore the festival cards are with text (English and Spanish are sold together). Bitoku I like that much because it is language independent.
Well, this is the big question. I got a folded space so apart from the festival cards everything would fit. But the box design is lovely and I still got some space so it can stay.
