A so-so expansion. On one hand, I love the Fate Cards and I'd always want to include them. They give you an alternative to deal with bad luck, plus it's nice to get a third card in a turn every once in a while. On top of that, they strengthen the thematic aspect of the game even more. On the other hand, the Gossip Cards add an (imo) unnecessary "take that" element to the game which I don't enjoy very much. They also clutter the board a bit too much towards the end of the game, you often have no other option than to buy one, even if you don't want to (or you just wait until they get discarded). Finally, they make a game that's already a tad too long even longer (approx. +10 minutes). All in all, it's definitely not a must-have expansion, but I'm glad I own it, and I enjoy the Fate Cards enough that I won't disregard the whole package because of its worse half.
