Expansions or stand-alone games ?

Hi,
I am new to CC ancients.
Are all the expansions stand-alone games(I am interested in Rome and the Barbarians)Or do I always need the first game CC ancients?

Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob,
here you can find a brief summary:

For Exp#1 you will need Base Game.

For Exp#2 you will need Base Game.

For Exp#3 you will need Base Game + Exp#1 + Exp#2 .

For Exp#4 and Exp#5 you will need Base Game + Exp#1 + Exp#2 + Exp#3 .

Expansions are not considered to be stand alone.
