King Charles the Cursed and his bloodthirsty Lords tighten their sweaty grip on the realm. Soon all the inns will be gentrified and full of overpriced perfumed ales. As the Lords impose ever more harsh, absurd laws on their subjects: will you rebel, or join their ranks and reap the rewards? —description from the publisher
SHUG: Landlords Expansion supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists SHUG: Landlords Expansion for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
