The expansions don't add anything; decided to keep the base box instead of big box or decennial edition.

The "Granddaddy of Euro cube pushers." I adore area control/influence games, and I find that the subtle strategy in the game is a nice touch. Not hard to learn (I teach it in about 5 minutes), but the strategy takes a couple games to completely unfold. Another plus to me; you play against other players, this is as much meta-game as it is raw strategy IMHO. I understand the criticism that the cards make it random to some degree, but there are ways to mitigate that through use of expansions. A plus is that this has all of the K&I cards compared to the Decennial edition, but the downside is the box is almost twice as big...

Lots of folks (read; most in my experience) play this at 4 and 5p. I get that, the turn order allocation and board are interesting with lots of people. You can manipulate folks into doing your dirty work, etc. 2p though shouldn't be sneezed at (not my fav player count, but very playable). The differences are that 2p requires much more fanatical attention to the board than turn order. Where as in 4 or 5p, you can't be everywhere, let alone defend everywhere, at 2p, you basically have a shot at just about anywhere and I've found I can win various districts with just 1 dude. K&I cards help 2p.

Wonderful Game with ALL the expansions together in one HUGE box.

My only gripes: (1)The box is too big and it doesn't have to be. (2)The Castille is not as good as the previous one. (3)Meeples? Prefer the cubed caballeros. (4)WTF is the obsession with making the king look like A ......

This game is a "9" for me but dropped the rating on this version.

El Grande is one of the pinnacles of board game design, beautifully interactive both strategically and tactically.

The "Big Box" version is the best ever version of one of the best ever games.
