Bad Company

This edition is in English and French. Put together your own gang and shape it into exactly the crew that suits your plans. Collect the right gear for your heists, rake in enough money to recruit new members and make sure you always stay one step ahead of the police. In Bad Company it is all about the perfect job, with just that bit of tension about whether you get away in time. Every player has their own board with eleven gang members. You can make them stronger by layering cards on top of each other. That way the look of your gangsters slowly changes as they become more capable. Each round the active player rolls four dice and splits them into two pairs. Each pair puts a gang member into action, and here is the fun part: the other players join in too and may use one of the pairs. So everyone is always involved and you never have to wait long. With your gangsters you gather resources, earn money or drive your car further through the city. That last one matters, because only if you stay ahead of the police do you pick up the loot along the way. You score points by completing heists, building up your gang and driving a good distance. The game ends as soon as someone finishes their sixth job or when a car reaches the harbour. Whoever has the most points then is the boss. Bad Company is for one to six players and there is even a solo mode in which you take on the police all by yourself.
