Leaving a trail of blood and corpses, Grendel has executed the leaders of the 23 most powerful crime families in the US. While Grendel now dominates the criminal underworld, the assassin’s series of coordinated attacks has also, predictably, created a power vacuum. Now, some upstarts think that New York City – the crown jewel of the East Coast–is up for grabs. Grendel needs to set things straight but wherever he goes, the werewolf, Argent, is soon to follow. Will the cold and calculating Grendel secure his grip after the so-called “Seaboard Massacre” or will the Mob rise up and take back what was theirs? Will Argent, the tireless hunter, finally corner his prey or will the Police put an end to this rampant crime spree?
Fight for control of the city as one of the four factions, each playing differently than the other. Focus your aggression, knowing that power and, ultimately, victory hang in the balance. Weigh your decisions carefully as each one could tip the scales in your favor.
Play out one bloody night in New York as Grendel, the Mob, the Police, and Argent seek to secure control of the city. While the Mob attempts to rally their forces and regain a foothold, Grendel sweeps in to subdue them once more. The Police work to forestall all conflict in the city, while Argent hunts Grendel.
During a round, players will take turns using their faction’s unique mechanics to deploy and move units, place Influence tokens on the board, draw cards, and put Aggression tokens in the Towers. When a Tower drops, that triggers a Mayhem. After 3 Mayhems, the player with the most points wins!
