So far I've been playing with the standard, base game of 12 hunters and three monsters and feel like there's been enough to play while still retaining some variety in the match-ups and giving me room to try different approaches to each round. But this should give you a good idea of what you're buying, and what you'll have access to, based on when and how much you pay.
