The game of bluffing and strategy in the criminal circles!

The pubs of the harbor district are bustling with activity. Every night gangsters and other vigilantes are starting fights and brawls. They are agitated, because soon Captain Cool and his two brothers-in-arms will choose a few of the young and most talented criminals and their gangs to handle the black market in the harbor. So everyone tries to impress the three bosses with their courage and their abilities. They try to win as many bar brawls as possible to recruit new associates for their cause and earn the respect of the bosses.
But brute force alone will not win the prize! They need to be skillful, cunning, and ruthless as well to become ”made” men.
Who will be the chosen one? Who knows best the tricks and skullduggeries of old Captain Cool, and has the guts to use them? (from the back of the box)
The Hungarian (original) edition of the game is based on the main characters of a novel and the graphic novel inspired by the book: Piszkos Fred a kapitány by Jenő Rejtő. The same character drawings can be seen in the international edition as well.

Players place their Family Members (figures) in 7 areas of the gameboard (in 4 pubs and to 3 Gangster Bosses) using simultaneous card selection to gain Gangster Cards in Affrays in the pubs. Later they place the cards in the Big Deal circle where they get points for creating chains of gangsters. Most points wins.

This game of tactics, strategy and confrontation is set in a fantasy world after the Great Depression. Each player runs a company of special agents, and their agents become teams in threes. The aim of the game is transporting the crystals and leftover artifacts (guns and transporting means!) from the mine to your own campsite and from the campsite to your home. The transport will succeed only if the team is strong and fast enough, and if you can use the transporting capacity of your men optimally. However, nobody is left alone with their problems. The competition and the robbers ensure interaction and surprises…

The basic game consists of 5 rounds. Players try gaining crystals and artifacts from the central mining project (bidding for the best bunch of crystals), then in the tactically most important phase they choose their 3-card "teams" to take actions in order of their speed. On your turn you can go to the mine to take crystals to your camp; you can attack others' camps for crystals and you can transport your crystals home or to the bank from your camp. You can also collect or use the artifacts found: they can help in increasing your transporting capacity or battle power, but if you don't use them they can mean lots of points in the end of the game. At the end of the game, whoever has the most points (from crystals and artifacts at home and points from the bank) wins.
