About this game
Your job is to solve delicate problems. Get a body out of town. Rob a bank right under the cops' noses. The gangs obey you. Your rivals respect you. After all, you rule Black City's underworld. But no one can learn that you're an impostor.
You are The Big Bad Wolf, posing as the crime boss known as “Grandma”
You've been set up. Find out who did it before the Full Moon
You command two gangs — two decks of cards
Send your thugs to solve problems with muscle or cunning
Smuggling, murder, kidnapping — this is only a fraction of what happens in Black City every day. Six crime bosses carve up this lucrative cesspool. Bluebeard, the Little Mermaid, and the other psychos desperately need a fixer to handle their problems. That's your role. Or is it all part of someone's twisted plan?
