   Good expansion with a lot of stuff: new characters, new buildings and the option to play with outlaws; the good thing to me is that rules and gameplay do not change much, only more variation is offered.

   Very provisional rating. Based on one play of the yellow sided characters without any new buildings, townhouses or outlaws. The yellow sided characters in a 3 player game were not as good as the characters from the base game. Several of them were not viable options, so they never got chosen. If you really like the base game, then you will get this. Otherwise, it is not an essential expansion. After 5 plays, really not liking the expansion. The outlaws dictate to playing only one strategy. We played without the outlaws and the new buildings and characters are just so meh. Downgrade from 8 to 6.

   At first glance, there really isn't that much to this expansion. I mean, you only get the rules, 2 cardboard sheets with cards, tiles and counters and 9 cowboy meeples. And that's it. But you'll get a lot of play value out of those pieces. 7 new personality cards, several new buildings, bandits... lots of fun to add to the already great base game. If you love Carson City, you'll love this expansion.
