Plunderbund

The Fantasy Back-Alley-Business Board Game

You lead a guild striving to dominate the market for illegal goods in the Sprawl, a city rich in history and lawlessness.

Through a light deck building mechanism, you attempt to create the strongest network of agents and the most desirable black market goods. Winners and losers are determined by a fun, yet sophisticated, supply & demand mechanic.

Graphic flavor text: You get your guild to act by taking favors, these favors are the cost of doing business in the Sprawl.

Graphic flavor text: Creating Demand: As your build your engine, demand coins are added to merchants, giving you a chance to place agents who win demand coins through sometimes fierce competitions and to place racketeers who extort demand coins from merchants. Selling black market goods and extorting, build your reputation in the game.

Graphic flavor text: Area of Control. At the end of the game, a final scoring measures the balance of power for each player in each of the four regions on the game board. Disfavor Graphic showing that each unpaid favor card at the end of the game costs minus one reputation. Graphic flavor text: Disfavor. And then the day of reckoning comes and it is time to pay the price for not paying back all your favors as your guild loses on reputation point for every favor they failed to pay back. The player with the highest reputation score at the end of the game wins Plunderbund, the title of Bos of Bosses, and wins the soul stone.
