A gangster-themed hand-management game where you fight for city turf using baseball bats, dirty tricks, and brutal timing.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy confrontational, take-that games with plenty of player interaction and a strong dose of darkly comic theme, ideal for a boisterous, competitive night.
Not for you if…
You prefer low-conflict or cooperative games – Whacktown is built entirely around every-player-for-themselves confrontation and can be brutal to whoever falls behind.
Vibe's take
Chaotic and confrontational – every round can swing hard in someone's favor, and the constant threat of a sudden reversal keeps the dark, absurd humor running through even the tensest moments.
Whacktown drops you into a neon-lit crime city where rival gangs fight for turf using baseball bats, dirty tricks, and razor-sharp timing. Each round you move your gang across a randomly generated city grid, spend cards to pull off Hustle plays, then draw back up before passing the turn, and every location you enter comes with its own price of entry and its own risks. You win by wiping out every rival gang or by being the first to hit 10 Reputation, whichever comes first.
