I've played the original so many times at a friends, do I need it, or could I just get away with buying two expansions?

I would get the starting game as well, the reason being that after you play a deck for so long you start to know all of the cards. The expansions are only a small fraction of the real game, so you will likely reach that point faster. I would recommend getting as many cards as possible so that you are never running out of things or seeing certain cards too many times. Makes the games more creative as well!

I think you need the first one it has the most card and the next two expansion packs are smaller.

You could potentially get away with buying the expansions. I would buy the base deck for more options though. I have the base, plus two expansions, and want to buy more.

The expansions aren't big enough to play with alone. You need the main game. These are designed to be an add-on

Yes you can...that is what I started with and have quite a few of the expansion or stuff.

the difference is the expansions add new stuff and jokes and dark humor to the original game. there is also a 4th expansion.

The first time I played, it was a combination of Zombie and Kungfu decks and it was great. The original is great and I would highly suggest it, but you don't have to start out with it. You can get the Zombie and then if you like it, get the original. To me at least the appeal to buy more than one set is to widen the deck after you get bored with the first set. Also before you get the deck there is an online version that teaches you how to play.

Absolutely. This isn't a continuation of the first game. This is a version of the first game with expanded game play. Set-up and reading the instructions is simple and you should be able to play and understand the game pretty quickly.

If someone already used the product key, you will still need to purchase a product key, so it would be like buying the game all over again. I wouldn't suggest buying it used, because you can download the starter edition for free and then just buy a product key from blizzard.

Nope! This version serves as a base set (victory cards and treasure cards), so it will work in place of the original if you're using an expansion

You need the original game first. The expansion set is just to add on more cards to your base set.

Nah, you don't NEED to start with any particular expansion pack, although it is much more enjoyable if you start with the first large box. Just simple Cards Against Humanity, rather than just getting small expansion packs.

Absolutely. Your character and progress stay as they are and you can continue through both expansion packs.

I think they call in the "Deluxe edition" because it has the expansion cards that allow combat to be a little different. I've never used them, we just play the vanilla rules.

I only puchased 1 core set myself and all the expansions. Fantasy Flight says you should get 2 to start with.

While it technically can be used as a Stand Alone game, I think using the Original set is more beneficial as a new player to the game. I prefer using Intrigue as an expansion, and because it has the base cards, when combined with the Original set we use both for games of 6-8 people.

There is now an adapter kit you can get to make your 3rd edition work with the 4th edition expansion. It's an extra $11, but cheaper than re-buying the base set.

I bought this version, the deluxe version, and it is as you said in the description! Hours of fun - even more if you get one of the expansions...

I would go with the original first. The types of cards on the original help you learn faster and overal the original is more fun as a standalone game

No you don't need to buy the first one, it's a completely different story than any other Final Fantasy game with new races, it's very different than normal offline versions of Final Fantasy and even Final Fantasy XI online.It's an online cooperative multiplayer with a little pvp thrown in with a monthly fee and similar to World of Warcraft but without add-ons and a big plus is the newly added mounts and minion pets and the game looks beautiful especially on PS4 and PC.
