Your gangs game tray's lid is an organizer for your stuff during the game.
Pre game draft optional rule is amazing. If you are not playing with newbies, I would recommend always playing it.
2 player works really well. Kind of gives a rebellion feel. It's still epic, but you feel like you are constantly trying to counter and out maneuver each other. I also agree about 3 and 4 players.
I really like the game, I have to try it solo… is it worth it?
losing 50% of your money is a catch up mechanic. since its 50% of your individual cash, the player with the most is hurt more. since it hurts everyone, it feels like less of a catch up mechanic, which i think is its intention.
I really enjoy this game a lot. The production is solid. The card art is amazing.
Played it solo to learn it and at two players. Solo was pretty good. Two players was fun but you may find the area control lacking at two – I did. I think three would be the sweet spot.
Also, I think playing one card a turn instead of two may allow you to get more done in the game since you are not triggering events so often with such a small deck. Excited to try that strategy.
So much in this game is broken that nothing is broken lol I love it
I agree, some jobs and cards feel way too random and punishing for some players. But so far I've enjoyed it immensely, and everyone I played with agreed.
This bounced off my group HARD. Was able to sell it the next day for no loss.
Love this game. The options and replayability are superb.
Not about the game itself: is this me or is this another video where rules explaination takes place in a … shady place? 😉
I think this is a game to play for the experience and do not get too het up over the winner and swings. 🙂
I can’t wait to play this! My copy will be here on Friday.
I just love this game. I feel the randomness is a perfect fit for this theme. If you look in movies, games etc.. No one knew what the feds would do. It is not always the big ones, but the ones who they can hit. And when they can hit the big one, it will be massive blow for the mobster.
But I do understand, some people just don't like random events.
But we are talking about 2 events cards only, that hits everyone. Atleast 3 raids, that is the random who gets hit, if not someone keeps triggering the raids, but that guy is in the red zone, to get a huge blow everytime.
Who will get a hit on them? Sometimes it would just be a random target.
And I was planning a job in the game, when it was happening, I didn't have the right associates in the discard pile, so it ended on a random hit.
How you guys can ever be stuck, with nothing to do, i have no idea how that can happen.
You will be able to recruit, get people out of jail, move people around, produce goods at your dealers.
The event, where you won't get people out of jail, when you shuffle your deck, you will not get it to that point, that the jail is filled up with your guys, before you get them out.
But sure, if it's your plan to get stuck, it is possible.
Chris does such a great job explaining gameplay/rules! I hope he does even more in the future.
I hate it when they review a Kickstarter only game. It would be so much $$$ to get this.
Is this game released to the general public yet? I've been trying to find it in the UK, but so far haven't seen a sign of it.
Wild swings of randomness … im out 😅
So the game would have a 9-9.5 for sure if the game didn't beat you up so bad?
My first game I played with four at a game weekend with strangers, some who really wanted to try this game but turned out to be quite serious gamers (one with some serious AP issues). It lasted for four hours…. One had the faction who completes jobs easily and he ended up with a job that he could complete and use to ignore the coded results of the raids, which he could then complete again next turn – making him virtually unbeatable. The others bounced off hard as a result. I had a ton of fun just trying to steal neighboorhods and doing random things. This game is clearly meant to be played by friends who do not take things too seriously. 😂 I want to try again and just have a bunch of laughs – will need to find the right group though…. 😊
Sounds to me I should just stick to CMON Godfather
it has very beautiful and thematic components
