Criminal Underworld

You are the leader to one of six organizations within the criminal underworld of Palm City.

Each organization works in unison, holding a firm grasp on a different sector of crime. Selling and trading anything from weapons & drugs to hacked databases & assassinations.

But that isn’t enough. Not in this city. Not when there is all this money for the taking. Greed is getting the best of everyone, as you all look to tighten your grip and expand business. Soon only one organization will stand and they will be running the entire city with unrivaled power. To acomplish that, the best leader will need to maintain succesful negotiations with rivals the same time war is brewing.

Only the strong will be left standing. Will you be able to rise to the top and become the head of the Criminal Underworld?

HOW TO WIN

The aim of the game is to be the last player standing. Do this by eliminating all other criminal organizations. You eliminate a criminal organization by bringing their power down to zero. Once all other players are eliminated you win.

HOW TO PLAY

A turn consists of players using money they've earned to play 2 cards from their hand of 5 cards. Once the 2 cards are played and replaced from the deck, their turn is over.

Depending on what two cards were played a variety of things could have happened. Use trade cards to get money from the black market or criminal activity cards to shake down enemies. Build businesses for continuous income, and play defense cards to protect them along with your headquarters. Play offense cards to attack other organizations or take over their businesses. All this while negotiating deals and trading cards/money with other players. And any deals made, can be broken. This is the criminal underworld after all.

GAME STORY

The criminal underworld of Palm City has been operating without interruption since the city was first founded in 1993. The criminal way of life is sewn into the fabric of this community’s culture. Due to this, both the city and the criminal underworld within it have thrived for years. The underworld’s death grip on the city has left plenty of room for each sector to experience rampant growth. Allowing the six biggest subdivisions to eventually form their own fully operational organizations and establish tyrannical & unyielding leaders at the head of each.

Drugs are manufactured and distributed by Los Pes. They are the most cutthroat & unrestrained cartel a person could ever cross. The drugs are top-notch though. The art of assassination is best handled by the maestros in the Saints organization. Their discipline has been conditioned into a number of accomplished contract killers. They’re the best bang for your buck. Prostitution is a sought-after option in Palm City. The girls are protected and managed by The Kitten Club. They are also, the best bang for your buck.

Cyber crimes are initiated by the Shadow Crew. This deals with hacking and selling goods on the dark web. Money laundering is provided to businesses in need from the Mobleone Family. Their operations go untouched due to a long standing agreement with local law enforcement, Lastly, weapons coming in and out of the city go through Heaven’s Devils. Selling guns in Palm City is booming business.

With money flooding in, each sector felt secure. Entrenched in their roles with everyone aware of who was in charge of what market. Things went smoothly without conflict. But who wants to be king of the hill, when there’s a whole mountain? The city’s potential was capped for each organization when left with only one option to bring in money. What if maybe they started to dip into the other sectors of crime? With the Mobleone Family selling drugs and Saints dealing weapons, it is only a matter of time until someone feels they need to protect what’s theirs. That’s when war begins. And when the dust settles, only one organization will be left standing. Times are changing.

Welcome to the Criminal Underworld.
