Decide Whether To Buy An Expansion Or A New Game
The expansion looks tempting but so does something completely new, and the budget only stretches to one. This weighs replayability against novelty for your actual group, using how often you play as the deciding factor, so the next purchase gets more table time than shelf time.

**Weigh up the decision:**

2. Signs your group is bored of the base game versus just needing new content
3. Cost per hour of enjoyment for each option, using reasonable estimates
4. A recommendation based on how often the group actually plays
