Crimopolis

You are an averagely successful gangster in a small township. You are tired of doing small jobs that only earn stress and scars with no hope for a better future. After hearing about the success stories from gangsters in big cities, you decide to become the most prestigious gangster of all times, so you move to Crimopolis, squat an empty building and declare it to be your headquarters. Crimopolis is a dice-free tile-placement strategy game in which players explore a city area by moving gangsters further and further away from their headquarters. Tiles feature streets and city blocks with parks, banks, graveyards, churches, lakes etc. Players assemble gangsters and execute jobs. The trickier the job the more prestige they earn. Taking over other players' assets also gains prestige as well as end game contributions such as villainy and hidden abilities. The player with the highest prestige wins the game. Each player controls a variously sized gang of up to 7 gangsters. The game is played in turns during which a player can spend game hours at will. They can be used to recruit and move gangsters, explore the city, execute jobs, ambush others and/or take over their assets and invest into fortunes. Players are involved outside their turns, fulfill a time keeper role and counteract on the active player's turn. —description from the publisher
