Rules for the New Cards

Character Card "St Louis"

Win 1, 2 or 4 M$

THEFT: Lose 2 M$. Move your counter 2 squares backwards on the "score" pane, even if it is on the "start" square.

4 "SHOOT-OUT": Win 4 M$ and kill an Expert from each player present in St Louis who has not a majority of cubes.

5 cubes (1 yellow, 1 red, 1 white, 1 black and 1 blue) contained in this expansion replace the "score" cylinders of the base game on the score pane.

5 Players

Placing the "Character" Cards

Choice no 1: Chicago + cards no 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Choice no 2: Chicago + cards no 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Choice no 3: Chicago + cards no 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8

Follow the basic rules of the game. The only difference is that each player will have only 4 cards instead of 5.

Place all the "character" cards in the middle of the table and deal 4 of them to each player. The players sit alternately, as shown in the diagram on the rules slip.

6 Players

Form 3 two-player teams. You will only use the yellow, white, and red counters. Each player in a team takes 5 big cubes ("Experts") and 2 small cubes ("Occasionals") of the same colour. One of the two players takes the "banished" counter. Place the 3 remaining cubes (yellow, white, and red) on the "start" square of the score pane.

Apply all of the rules of the regular game except:

  • 2 players from the same team can place and therefore add their gangsters on the same "character" cards.
  • The cubes on the "score" pane move according to the money won by each team.
  • It is not possible for team-mates to show their cards to each other, but they can gesture to each other and speak (but without moving from their seat).
  • When team-mates have added up their gangsters on a "character" card, and when an "Expert" is hurt, goes to prison or is killed at the end of the hand, they decide together which "Expert" they remove.
  • It is still not possible for a player to place gangsters if he does not become the player with most cubes on a "character" card.
