Dope: Crime pays...with your face is a strategic game for 2-4 players, where you take control of a gang of 90s New York criminals—Chinese, African American, Italian, or Russian—fighting for dominance over the city's dope market.
You start with thirteen criminals on your player board, a few dollars, and some dope.
Your gang consists of different types of criminals, each with unique strength and trading abilities. You can play your criminals revealed to show your power, or keep them hidden to scheme in the shadows.
The map is divided into neighborhoods and squares, each connected to different dope markets and buyers. On your turn, you can take various actions, such as recruiting criminals, trading dope, moving, or attacking rival gangs.
Build your strategy by expanding your gang, spreading across the most profitable neighborhoods, and protecting your operations from enemy threats. Invest in cheap drugs and sell when prices spike. Gain the trust of buyers to strengthen your criminal presence.
But no empire lasts forever. One by one, the police raids will take down the gangs—until only one remains, facing a desperate getaway.
