About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey, smuggling crew! Get ready for more excitement and (who knows) more trouble with 'Muamba: Excess Baggage,' the mini-expansion that's here to supercharge your smuggling sessions. If you already thought the base game was fun, now things get even crazier, because this little gem expands the player count, allowing up to five people to join the fray. Yes, you read that right: five smugglers trying to get their illegal goods past customs! With more people at the table, the bluffing and hand management dynamic becomes even tighter and more unpredictable. To handle all this movement, customs had to reinforce security, and that's where the star of the expansion comes in: 'Brazix K9lha,' a friendly but super nosy police dog, ready to sniff out anything suspicious. This expansion isn't just about adding an extra player; it injects a dose of controlled chaos and new strategic possibilities. You'll have to be even smarter to deceive not only your friends but also the new canine law enforcement reinforcement. 'Excess Baggage' is the perfect choice for those who want to take 'Muamba' to the next level, with more laughs, more tension, and, of course, more baggage to check (or hide!).
