The Expansion introduces several new concepts to the board, wagons, gold coins, barbarians, and several new development cards. Wagons allow you to deliver special resources to different places around the bored, the castle, the quarry, and the glassworks. Delivering these resources gains you victory points. Upgrading your wagon can be expensive, but it's worth it as it allows you to speed around much faster than your opponents. Gold can be used to pay tolls to other players and can be earned by delivering resources. You can also use it to buy resources to construct your kingdom. Barbarians are like a replacement thief (Which by the way is not used in this expansion.) Three are placed around the board. Moving it allows you to steal a resource from a player, but does not affect the production of resources, unlike the thief.
I hope this review helped you in deciding whether or not to get Traders and Barbarians! Keep in mind that this does not cover the other scenarios in the expansion, you get more than triple what I've described here, and it's well worth your money. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you next time!
