I can see how this could go down very well with the right group though. It is a good expansion, especially if you like that style of gameplay, just not what I am looking for. I am not a big fan of take that in games so Dirty Deeds is not for me. For me adding in maybe one or two expansions like the Dockside and some variant rules or the Games of Chance and the Dockside is how I like to play it. It is still not a heavy/complex game but it does add additional phases and more to think about.

It turns the light accessible and quick playing card game into something that is a more complex and longer experience. However, if you do go this route the game does become a little “big”. You can even throw everything in all the same time if you want. Want to change up the starting set up or tweak a few rules then draft a few Tavern Menu cards. Want something with a little more bite then add in Dirty Deeds. The core game remains the same but you can tailor the experience to the group. With these expansions there is a ton of variety that you can add, remove, chop and change to your hears desire. However, if you are a more friendly Tavern Master then you can leave this one alone. If you like the more interactive games then you can easily add this in to your game of Tavern Master. I like how this is included as an expansion. You will be stealing and generally stabbing your opponents in the back. This expansion adds a lot of player interaction into the game. During this phase players can also play a Dirty Deed card or activate Dirty Deed abilities. The first round of the game players draw three Dirty Deed cards and then one additional card each subsequent round. This expansion adds a new phase in to the game in between the Night phase and the Counting the Till phase. The core game has no player interaction, however there is a small box expansion, Dirty Deeds that adds a host of Dirty Deed cards, as well as some additional Tavern and Patron cards. In this review I will be covering a number of expansions that are available Dirty Deeds, Dockside, Games of Chance and the Tavern Menu expansions Final Thoughts Take That You Pesky Innkeeper For more details on how the core game plays and what I think of the game check out my final thoughts and my d4 DICE review. Tavern Masters is a light accessible card game all about running your very own fantasy themed Tavern.
