The expansion offers the following cards:
Not including the Ware cards, the original contains:
Ware
As the expansion rules state, the ratio of Ware to other cards should
not be altered and in terms of ensuring that the game works this seems
to be good advice. These are not altered.
Market
To help each player have a reasonable shot at having at least one of
these, keep all them.
Guard
To preserve uncertainty when using Animals, keep all of them.
Utility
As there are only six of these, add all of them in. Presumably most
have played the original game a fair amount already, so let's increase the
chances of seeing the new ones. To compensate, remove six of the
duplicate Utility cards from the original game. This raises the
question of which ones to keep. Those which give players the
chance to get wares and especially to get wares from the other player
are probably the most important in terms of keeping play competitive.
Animal
Although there are more extra Animal cards, the Crocodile is a fairly
important card in terms of affecting Utility cards. Thus just add one
of each type of these and remove three duplicate Animal cards.
People
In this set it's difficult to
preserve the original ratio between card types. Replacing all of the
duplicate People cards from the original with one of each of the new
cards still leaves two new types excluded. Thus, remove two duplicates
of the original Utility cards as well, altering the ratio slightly but
at least including one of every card.
