We LOVED the Campaign. We didn't feel that the story being linear was limiting. We didn't go into it expecting it to be a strong, story campaign. We just found it fun to play Scythe differently while adding new components with a decent enough story on top of it. We never thought it was going to be the 'choose your own adventure' type campaign, at all. Using this expansion to teach a new-to-Scythe player probably isn't optimum.
Glad you enjoyed it. I think we wanted to make it clear that this campaign is not for everyone. Scythe is Suzanne's top Euro style game so we really enjoy the game and the new components and factions will become staples for us in future games.
Another great review! Thanks for the explanation.
Glad it was helpful!

“That Player” sounds like he must be awesome at this game. Perhaps your fourth friend was very weak?
The player who dominated with wins definitely played very well. I wouldn't say anyone was weak though.
