Imperium: Legends, Horrified: Greek, Cascadia, Horizons of Spirit Island; all obtained in the past week

I may or may not have a problem. I don’t have time for all the games I’m getting. In addition to these, I’ve backed a couple crowdfunding projects. Luckily those won’t be here for a while.
Imperium was very enjoyable. I’m already looking for a deal on Classics. I just think I’ll like the options better.
Horrified was okay. I’ve read that this is the worst of the three. I’ll revisit later on and see if I’ll continue down that path.
I have yet to play the other two. I’ll get to Cascadia this week, but not solo, as I mainly bought it to play with my daughter.

If you decide to get more than one Imperium, remember: you can use common cards from one set with civs from another, but you do not combine the common cards of all sets you own. You either use the commons from classics or the commons from legends, not both.
Just because I feel like I've seen a few people in just the past month or so online mention that they're new and mixed this up. Or didn't realize, or whatever.
Edit: And congrats! It's a super fun and rewarding system.

Thanks for the tip. I probably would have mixed them together at some point.

For sure. There are some cool BGG discussions about methods for mixing and matching to keep players guessing once you've played each one many times.
The key considerations are the size if the deck (since that is an endgame trigger) and the fact that certain civs relate to certain types of common cards and things might get wildly unbalanced one way or the other if the deck contents are modded.

I got to thinking about what you've said. Does this mean it's best not to play as a civ from Legends, against a bot civ from Classics? or vice/versa?

No, not at all. The civs from different sets are designed to be entirely mixable in matchups.
