![]() ![]() The card powers for each new set of maids both expand on and integrate well with the original release. I included some of (in my opinion) the “racier” ones in my pictures for this review, because, if you want to be outraged, the tame ones are just going to be ignored anyway. Everyone's cringe scale is a little bit different but our initial plays seemed to have a few more eye rolling “Oh, Lord” explanations than when we debuted the base game. It is a eclectic mixture of stunningly rendered totally-safe-for-work maids and then you come across the likes of Felicity Horn: wielding a set of dangerous weapons that could easily poke your eyes out.and she carries dual daggers too. Some of the maid cards are a little more “Robust-y” in this expansion. Even the private maids are distinctly more “positive” with only Mika Yakushido being the exception: She is played on another player and requires that they discard one “love” from their hand at the beginning of their turn. Moreover, Estates and Gardens act to cancel some of the negative events that can be played upon you if you happen to be combining it with other Tanto Cuore sets. ![]() The Illness and Bad Habit cards aren't found in this release and, instead, you'll be purchasing house expansions like Estates, Gardens, and Lily Gardens. Tanto Cuore: Expanding the House both serves as a stand alone game or it can be combined with other Tanto Cuore releases as an expansion. ![]() If you want a return to that pervy little set collection game that virtually nullifies the “take that” aspect, Expanding the House is an excellent expansion. If someone started going with the Illness or Bad Habit cards, it turned into Geto Boys ala Tony Montana “You wanna go to war, I'll take you to war.” and the nice little set collection game becomes purely focused on messing with the other players. If you read my review of Tanto Cuore, you know that one of the things my wife and the other players in my core group didn't like about the original release was the “Take That” cards.
