Gangsta!

A quick and clever card game, full of interactions and low blows!


Gangsta! is a card game in which each player embodies a mafia boss who is determined to expand his/her influence in the criminal world.

To do so, players will have to recruit additional gangsters based on their unique skills which will enable them to increase their number of profitable robberies and thus expand their influence further. But these operations do not go unnoticed, and players must quickly escape the police and informers responsible for exposing them. In addition, as the rivalry between the gangs grows, players will also have to prepare for the upcoming gang war.

Snitches

No. The snitch cards are discarded once their effect has been resolved. However, we recommend leaving them prominently on the side during Chapter III so that each player can see the count more clearly (see end of game condition).

Mobilization

The mobilization phase is optional. A player may very well, for purely strategic considerations, choose not to use this possibility.

Variants

Yes. A gangster belonging to the same family as your Boss and who would be revealed, thanks to the Indicator Network, would cost you 2 $ less than the indicated price.

Special rewards (assassination)

You must choose another gangster, regardless of the number of skills he has.

Resource Cards (Biker gang / Network of informants)

The effect of these cards occurs before the mobilization phase, at the very start of your turn.

Resource Cards (Private jet)

The effect of this card is only activated when a cooperative heist is performed by two or more players.
