Released in 2024, Grok Games brings the “O Bom, o Mau e o Bode: Chief Promo Card” expansion, which introduces a new character, the Chief, and tweaks several aspects of the setup and supply phase. The expansion works as a supplement to the base game, keeping the same 2‑to‑5‑player format and 30‑to‑45‑minute playtime, but adds a surprise element that can swing the outcome of a match.
During Stage 4 of the preparation, the Chief is shuffled in with the other character cards to form a single purchase deck. In Phase 1: Supply, instead of drawing two cards, players draw three: two face‑down and one face‑up. If the face‑up card is the Goat, it must be replaced with another card from the deck, ensuring the Goat never shows up. This already creates a bluffing atmosphere from the start, as players must guess which cards might be hidden.
The Chief has no dedicated location. When revealed, it is placed next to the location chosen by the player controlling it. Its effect, marked by the hourglass icon, is “delayed”: it only triggers at the end of the Saloon phase, after all characters have resolved their effects. When activated, the Chief allows the player to take all belonging tokens or all coins from the location where it sits. If there are no tokens or coins, the action yields nothing, which can be decisive in high‑stakes games.
This expansion reinforces three core mechanics already present in the base game: hand management, set collection, and variable player powers. Hand management becomes more intricate with the need to choose between face‑down cards and the revealed one, while set collection gains a bonus when the Chief is placed on a strategic location. Variable player powers are reflected in the choice of which location to place the Chief, influencing resource flow for each player.
For fans of the Western theme, the atmosphere of “O Bom, o Mau e o Bode” remains intact, but the new strategic layer adds more tension and bluffing opportunities. If you’re familiar with the base game and want to add a bit more unpredictability and critical decisions, this expansion is a fun and challenging addition worth trying out.
