How to play
Nine things move through the House. Learn how they move and you understand the whole game.
Your first hour
- Choose your leader
6 leaders are in the game now. Each has a style bonus and an Ultimate. - Collect on the street
Send crew on Collection Rounds. Shops under your protection pay Dirty Money, with no Wanted. - Open a front
Build the Restaurant. It earns Clean Money and launders Dirty Money. - Wash the money
Dirty Money buys nothing. Launder it; the family keeps a cut. - Grow the house
Upgrade the Mansion. It is the ceiling for every other building and for your crew. - Win Street Jobs
Check the enemy type, bring the archetype that beats it and keep your squad standing. - Mind the heat
Street Jobs and gathering fill your Wanted gauge; time cools it. At 100 those jobs wait, but Collection Rounds stay open. - Follow the Boss's Orders
12 chapters of orders teach the rest, one card at a time.
How money moves
Jobs and the underground bring Dirty Money. The Restaurant washes it, and the family keeps a cut: everybody pays. Clean Money builds the house. The house raises the limit. The limit lets you take bigger jobs. Bigger jobs raise Wanted. When Wanted is full, those jobs wait until it cools.

Power is what the House has built and keeps forever. Influence is what you earned this month; it resets. Territory is what you hold today; it resets too. Legacy is what is written in the Ledger; it never resets and gives no power.
Power is in the game now. Influence, Territory and Legacy arrive with the monthly league. Coming soon →
