Skullport vs Undermountain - which one should I get?

[Edgewalker]

As title says, my budget allows me to buy only one expantion with the game.
I would welcome an advise, which one is a better choice?

good, i've been pondering the same especially while they're on sale. i am leaning towards Skullport as i kind of like the new mechanic of corruption. beyond that, i'm not sure of the differences in gameplay between the two other than just more of the same thing (quests, buildings, etc) i know the lords reward for different things but beyond that i'd like a solid opinion from someone who's played both on the tabletop!

I prefer Skullport and the corruption. You can lose a lot of victory points if you are greedy but you can win a lot of VP if you play wisely. It's not the same game. New challenge. You have three new places for meeples and new cards who works with the corruption thing.

In Undermountain you have also three new places and new cards. The new rule from this DLC is the possibility to put some adventurers and gold coins on the tabletop. They become bonus for the first agent who take the place. (For example you can take the two fighters at Field of Triumph... AND the gold that you put on it one turn before. Other players can be faster than you and "steal" the bonus... or ignore your trap and continue on their strategic way).

By the way... the tabletop have only one expansion : Scoundrels of Skullport. They split the expansion in two DLC. Just saying.

Sorry for my english...

I own actual boardgame and in that version you get both expansions in one box. I do know, that you can separate them one from each over, but there is no point in that. Both expansions fit perfectly in a mix.

But if you ask a question like this, i'd rather say you better get Skullport, as it adds a nice and well balanced corruption mechanic. It's so satisfying to see your opponent smiling upon you, leading with 50-60 VP and then his face turns terrified when he finds out he has 10 skulls in his tavern and each of those cost him -6/-8 VP. Corruption makes you think wether you want high reward right about now and pay (or having a plan to get rid of them) later, or be a nice guy or tricky intiguant, who make your opponent pay for their grid.

the tabletop have only one expansion

people think that because both come in ONE box. there are 2 modules however, each can be played separately. think of each DLC as a module.

Thanks for all the answers! I'll go for a Skullport then :-)

Mountain look,s like just an extention of the vanilla game with no real additions to it other than the plain jane careds and quests and such.

Skulldugary looks like it ADDS more play depth to the vanilla game. Along with more plain jain quests and maps and cards and heroes. It basically brings to the table more things to watch for or watch out for. I'm going to wait till chirstmas on the DLC to see how the vanilla game and support for it pans out.

Definitely both. Game is best when You play with both expansion.
This is realy grate game. I have board game (with both DLC) and iOS verison.

Or when you can afford it. Some live on "fixed" incomes; have to wait for their monthly social security checks. :)

Both but if you must choose, choose skullport. Corruption gives extra layer.

[Edgewalker]

I'll get the second one later on, 15 Euro in my steam wallet is all I have for now ;-)

[Hitoshura]

Easy! BOTH!

Definitely grab up both when you can, but prioritize Skullport over Undermountain. Undermountain has some nice additions but it's literally more of the same mechanically. Skullport adds the corruption mechanic and you can always turn it off if you want to go back to a vanilla game.

[X-the Unknown]

Undermountain first!!

[Edgewalker]

I've got both already ;)
