Mille Fiori: The Masterpieces Review: Certified Masterpiece?

[@SmoothGummi]

Mille Fiori is one of my favorite games because of how quick it plays and the ease of teaching. I’m fearful that this takes it up a level of complexity that would make it tough for newer gamers and add to the game length. I’ll try before I buy.

keep everything in the expansion box - it saves some shelf space ;)

[@CharlesHepburn2]

An expansion already? I wonder when this will ACTUALLY be available in the USA for purchase. The base game took about a year to come out here.

[@MrDunpet]

I found the expansion box even better in size to hold the base game in it as well. A few cm/inch saving in the shelf : )

Great review, Mike. Love the game ; and as a good portion of my plays will be at the 2-player count, scooping this up is a no-brainer.

[@dimpleza]

I was wondering about the two player game. Thank you, Mike I will have to try this out. Shrinking the board for two works but it obviously isn't ideal. Thank you!!❤

[@dandurkin9735]

Nice discussion, Mike - thank you!

[@AaronAndSusie]

I haven't even been able to get the base game yet and there's already an expansion! 😂

[@tah27891]

Can't tell by the rules but do you activate your drafted card location first, or do you go up the track first?

[@Danimal1901]

I have mixed feelings about this; I’m excited to add to this game and like the variable turn order, but worry that masterpieces will be too disconnected. I’ve never played the base game with less than 4 and I’m having some trouble comprehending Mike’s paradoxical recommendation with 2

I've been reading on forums that the expansion makes a 2P game quite enjoyable. My first play with the expansion at 4P actually made me miss playing the base game (ie. not a good first impression), but now I am looking forward to 2P with the expansion.

Boy that new card artwork of the people is off putting and jarringly different to me

[@Tenebyss]

That being said, I’m most excited by the new ability to fight for turn order, given how powerful going first is in the base game

[@TheManofDew]

Thanks for the review. I think I’ll just stick with the base game.

[@johns6177]

still waiting for base game to be a normal price.

[@nedeljkodukic7279]

Meh...the base game is perfect as it is. The game shouldn't even be played with less than 3 players imo.

Mike Italianlastname... it's Italian so as long as you pronounce all the vowels, even those at the end, then it's usually just which sylABBle gets the emPHASSis. (DogaRESSa. DoGAte.) Speaking of... preparing for a trip to Italy, I was having issues with pronunciating. I have a Spanish background so I was close, but it still sounded like Spanish to me. So I just started saying the words like Luigi on The Simpsons, aka "ridiculous Italian stereotype". First night, sitting at a restaurant overlooking the Lago di Garda and I'm "talking" to the server, feeling like a total hate crime: "Mamma mia! We wanta the pizza anda the pasta!" (Not really. It just felt like that. And it was in actual Italian.) "Parli Italiano?" "No. I'm sorry. I'm murdering your language." "No! You speak it very well!" And then he switched to Italian for the rest of the meal. The lesson here is: The Simpsons is always right!

Sorry bro, I'm italian but I didn't understand what you were trying to say about your trip
