Street Blooms of Monga 2023

Step into the prosperity and chaos of "Monga Flower Alley" and play the role of a gangster driver. Fight and expand your gang's influence in Taipei's Wanhua District.

In 1980s Monga, amidst its thriving chaos, you, a gang member in rapidly developing Taipei, maneuvered through its streets, seizing business opportunities and managing your team. Amidst these lucrative ventures, rival gangs and the police loomed as constant threats to your dominion.

Street Blooms of Monga is played over 5 rounds. On your turn, choose a terrain card from the supply, play one card from your hand, and then move your driver 1~3 blocks (orthogonally adjacent squares of the same color are treated as a block). Madames are then placed to occupy unclaimed establishments or challenge other organizations in brawls for territory control. The player who plays the “Wanhua Precinct” terrain card controls the police for patrols that turn — Roll the die to determine which illegal industry to inspect. The player controlling the largest single area in that industry receives criminal points as a penalty.

The winner is determined by subtracting the highest criminal record points from the total economic benefits obtained by all your workers.
