Introduction: Craft contraband, recruit goons, and become the most notorious inmate! Lockup is a competitive worker-allocation game for one to five players. In the game, players manage groups of minions -- gnolls, kobolds, bugbears, goblins, or insectoids -- locked up in Kulbak Prison. Each round, players try to keep their suspicion from the guards under control while allocating their crew to different locations within Kulbak. The player with the strongest crew in each location at the end of each round gains the most resources, hires the most powerful crew, and builds the most powerful items, increases their reputation. The player with the highest reputation at the end of six rounds, wins the game. |
Features: CLEVERLY COMPETITIVE Euro-style mechanics by acclaimed designer Stan Kordonskiy. ASSIGN YOUR MINIONS by strategically placing your crew tiles in locations within Kulbak prison during a hidden bidding phase! GROW IN INFLUENCE by recruiting new goons, crafting items, buffing your strength, and using your resources wisely. AVOID SUSPICION from the watchful automaton guards - if you gain too much attention as they patrol, you'll instigate a raid! FIGHT FOR FREEDOM as only the strongest crew in Kulbak will earn the chance to win release through battle, or at the very least, a chance for a daring escape! How to Play: 1.) Roll Call: Assign your minions! Take turns strategically placing your crew's minions in locations within Kulbak prison. Place some minions face up showing their strength, and others face down, hiding their strength from other players until it's time to reveal. 2.) Lights Out: Under cover of night, reap your rewards and gain resources, craft valuable contraband items, and recruit powerful goons. But be wary of attracting too much suspicion from the guards… 3.) Patrol: Guards patrol the dungeon, providing new resources to the rooms of the prison. But if too much suspicion has been raised by your activities, they'll instigate a Raid! Crews with the most suspicion will have their chambers searched and suffer a loss of reputation. 4.) Earn your freedom: Only the strongest will be chosen. After 6 rounds, the crew who has gained the most reputation stars from goal cards, crafted loot, and recruited goons wins a fighting shot at freedom in the king's coliseum! Perhaps, it will provide a chance for escape...
