Expectations can get you in some trouble, even if a game seems to give fair warning that it’s not necessarily related to its predecessor. People understandably--and that includes us--will come into a game wanting what they (or we) want. It’s normal.
But what do you get when you expect a dungeon crawler and you find a heavy euro? And there’s sure a lot of brown on that game board! But, once you get past your expectations, are you left with a good game?
