I usually suggest trying a base game before buying into the extras no matter how interested a party is.But this game is slightly different for me. The added characters, events, and thematic petri-dishes just add so much to even the base game that I think it's a good package buy IF you are pretty sure you are going to like the game.
If you've seen some youtubes of the game being played and are pumped for it, go all in.
