  1. 5 out of 10

    While a 6th player wasn't really necessary, having 2 deputies sounds like it will be an interesting challenge as you need to try to slip past both of them. New black market allows contraband to be traded in for gold which is a welcome addition. Laws and special orders add some welcome complexity and variability to a game that can start to feel a little stagnant after playing for a while.

    The black market cards could be treated as a fix to the base game balance. They are nice and necesary, but you could proxy them as they doesn't need to be card-sized. The Merry Men are to high risk high reward for my liking, in a game that already suffers from that. Also, terrible production quality, at least in my case, as the Merry Men's cards are bigger than the rest of the contraband. The other-contraband-buff I like it less than the black market 3xContraband rewards. The six player module it's necesary to not proxy a board and a bag, but the game already worked alright for six players, so I wouldn't recommend playing with two sheriffs, and instead play with one sheriff. The game can drag waaay more easily with two sheriffs than with one. Maybe play one round as one sheriff and one round with two sheriffs to spice things up if you wanna use the rest of the components. And then there is the laws module. That's what a true expansion should be, it's nice and adds replayability adding almost no complexity. So, after a while, it may depend on the price. I love Sheriff of Nottingham, and I expected more from this expansion. Specially dissapointed with the Merry Men, as they seem like the more exciting part of the expansion and the art is awesome, but in the end they make the game worse.

Sheriff of Nottingham: Merry Men contains five modules that can be added to the base game, as well as the option of including a sixth player. The five modules are:

Deputies: In six player games, you may use two Deputies instead of a single Sheriff. Here, both deputies must decide to search bags or let people pass, and they will share the punishments and rewards. If a deputy disagrees with the other and searches a bag, they will receive the punishment or reward by themselves.

Merry Men: Adds new illegal goods in the form of ‘merry men’ characters. If they are successfully smuggled in, players will reveal it and activate its special ability.

Black Market: Adds three sets of bonus cards that display illegal goods. The first player who successfully smuggles in the indicated goods receives the bonus cards and a large reward.

Laws: Sheriffs must draw three law cards and choose two to keep. The chosen laws are in play for the entire round.

Special Orders: Special order cards indicate combinations of one legal and one illegal good. If players can smuggle both of those items in the same bag, they get that card, which provides them with bonus gold.
