Whacktown 2026

Welcome to WHACKTOWN - the city where chaos rules and only the toughest survive!

Hit the streets and build your gang. It’s all about influence, respect, and striking first. Some strikes boost your reputation; others bring you trouble. Sometimes they do both.

WHACKTOWN is fast, ruthless, and fiercely competitive. Every game is different, every turn matters, and the balance of power can shift in an instant.

The game is easy to pick up. Each round follows three simple steps: 1. Move: Move your gang and trigger the effects of the target location. 2. Hustle: Play any number of hustle cards; to play a hustle, you must discard other cards as a cost. 3. Chill: Draw cards and pass to the next player.

Locations are access-controlled: Some require money, information, reputation or health to enter. So your positioning and timing matter as much as your muscles.

Sudden reversals are common: if you slack off, someone might literally drop a bomb in your living room. As damage effects hit all rivals, make sure to build up enough armor to protect you.

You win by becoming the most feared gangster boss in WHACKTOWN: either eliminate every other player or be the first to hit 10 Reputation.

If you like quick, confrontational games with tactical depth, player interaction, and a heavy dose of gangster humor (and you don’t mind getting whacked a few times), WHACKTOWN is the perfect late-night brawl.
