SyndiCate is a game from the Party Game category. Players need to compete for the right to become the Boss of a criminal syndicate. To do this, you need to perform "Tasks" and accumulate authority. There are 4 groups of tasks in the game that give authority points (1,2,3,6). The themes of the illustrations and the description immerse you in the crazy criminal Cat world.
There are several categories of cards in the game, which either help the player or complicate the game for other opponents. The average game time is 15-30 minutes, the number of players is from 2-6.
A brief description of the game mechanics.
A player can play up to 5 cards from his hand on his turn, and you can only take cards from the deck at the end of the turn. To get authority points, the player needs to collect a combination of "Strength" points in color and/or quantity, lay out the cards under the "Task" on his turn and put his token on top. The number of tasks is limited, but they can be released and the enemy token can be reset - the task will become available to all players again. To do this, the game has a category of "Kus" cards - these are traps that can be laid face down over any task. So that no one else knows which trap is blocking the task.
These cards can either block an empty task, or be placed on tasks where someone's token is already lying.
The tasks have varying difficulty and are divided into 4 color categories (Green, Blue, Red, Black) from simple to complex. So in order to complete the green task, only 2 power points are enough, 3 for blue, 4 for red, and to complete the black task, you need to collect a certain combination of color and / or face value.
