About the game
Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem – Grim Bastards Club Expansion introduces 'The Grim Bastards' Motorcycle Club to your games of Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem, allowing up to 5 players to play at once (or 6 players if you already own the Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem – Calaveras Club Expansion). It includes everything you need to add one additional player to your game, including 'The Grim Bastards' Clubhouse Card, 1 Player Blind, 10 Plastic Dudes (Orange), 87 Additional Tokens (Money, Actions, Heat), 1 Custom Dice, Rules and Black Market Reference Cards for 3/4 & 5/6 Players. NOTES + The 'Grim Bastards' Clubhouse Card was also included on its own as a promotional bonus in first print copies of Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem. It only included the Grim Bastard Clubhouse Card (nothing else) and could be used as a substitute for one of the other Clubs. Some GenCon attendees also got the opportunity to gain the Orange Dudes & Dice featured in this expansion, but again they were a promotional bonus only and lacked the other contents featured in this full expansion. + The Grim Bastards Club Expansion also includes the Black Market 3/4 Player Reference Card missing from many first print copies of the base game.
