About the game
What you do in a play session
If you already enjoy the adrenaline of Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem, the Calaveras Club expansion is here to make the fight for territory even more intense. The main highlight is the introduction of the Calaveras Motorcycle Club, bringing new characters and dynamics that expand the table. Ever had the problem of too many friends wanting to play but not enough slots? This expansion solves that by increasing the limit up to 5 players. Even better: if you already own the Grim Bastards Club expansion, the party grows even further, allowing up to 6 players to join the struggle for asphalt control.
Beyond increasing the player count, the expansion fixes a production oversight from the base game. Many first-print copies were missing the Black Market reference card for 3 or 4 players, and the Calaveras Club includes this material, making the experience smoother and less dependent on constant rulebook checks.
In the game, you continue managing action points, deploying your members to dominate areas, and negotiating (or betraying) your allies to climb the criminal hierarchy. The addition of the new club adds new layers of interaction, forcing players to recalculate their influence strategies and deal with more rivals trying to steal their turf. It's the ideal complement for those who feel the base game has become 'too small' for their group or for those who want to upgrade the immersion in the series' universe. Get your leather jackets ready, organize your plans, and remember: in the world of motorcycle clubs, loyalty is valuable, but power is what rules.
