Comparison with Other Sets
Tanto Cuore: Expanding the House is a less aggressive game than the base set due to the absence of Illnesses and Bad Habits . However, some of the Private Maids are much more powerful and worth more Victory Points than the ones in the base set. For this reason, adding in the Illnesses from the base set may help with game balance. The Buildings add more varied sources of Victory Points, and are likely to make for a longer game than the other two sets.
