Played several times with at least 5 of the modules and a few variants, including the Contraband, new ships, Wind, 3 new ship modifications, Favors, plus extra cards. Really enjoyed the new experience, neat new thematic elements that work real well with the base, adding only a slight amount of time overall. Not ready to add locations yet, but want to try. Will add the Treasure Galleon next play.

This is probably the best expansion that I have bought for a game in the last 2 years. In this box you will find 12 modules that add depth and choices to M n M. Additional options to get gold and glory points (by buying contraband among other methods introduced in this expansion...), weapons, ship modifications, locations to go in the map (in addition to those you visit using the "port aciton"). Also in this hefty box you will get new captains, ships and ship miniature, that add storytelling and thematic elements to the game. Additionally, this expansion will doble all the decks of cards (Missions, Rumors, goods "+ contraband", events) for additional situations and dynamics to be resolve during gameplay. I specifically like the contraband addition, (which was missing from the original game). It provides additional option to get gold, glory point and increases the flavor of the theme greatly. I don't understand how this was not taken into cosideration in the original design...How you make a pirate game without contraband and smugling dinamics in it!!!! Still I like the original game but I can't see my self playing it without this module. All of this for 1 great price. If you are already familiar and love M n M, this is a great addition to your already fun experience. If you love M n M you already have this....if you don't ....What are you waiting for??

Some nice variants and a needed fix for galleon manoeuvrability. Not a fan of the art on the captain cards. It looks like it's been cheaply photo-shopped. The wind is perhaps a bit too random in an already random game.
