The martial arts gameplay including sparring and great take home training items like a training dummy, special books, and a board breaker. France offers great food, cafes, medieval culture, scooters, and mysteries to solve.The high content and replay value make this expansion worth the price.

Future updates will help smooth some existing issues but planning play and thoughtful management skills can eliminate minor frustrations.
