Chicago Shadows Let’s see if you’re gangster. [→]


Every game, you’ll roam a freshly generated Chicago—always centered around the city core. Watch the streets come alive: ✅ Green checkboxes mark successful orders, 🚔 police cars signal arrests or rising heat, and flashing icons reveal territory changes and recent kills. Keep your eyes open—the city never sleeps.
Every shop and residence has its own Heat, Fear, and Respect levels—key to how easy or risky an extortion will be. Keep your Heat low to dodge the cops, build Fear to ensure compliance, and raise Respect to control the streets. Smart bosses read the map before they move đŸ”đŸ”„.
Robberies appear right on the map—icons mark active hits and recent targets. Hit a shop and it’ll lock down, stopping income for a set cooldown, so the profit window is limited. Scout patrols, heat, and rival claims before you send the crew—know the pressure, angles, exits, and the clock. 🧭💰đŸšȘ
This is Chicago—your city, freshly generated each game. Zoom out to see the full grid: shifting turfs, rising hotspots, and fading influence. Every turn redraws the streets—adapt fast or lose your grip on the empire đŸ™ïžđŸ“Ą.
Step into the alley market where you can buy, **sell** or trade weapons, gear, and weird oddities. You pick what gives your crew the edge—no fluff, just strategy đŸ’ŒđŸ’Ł mixed with cunning.
This is **your stage**—choose your nickname, profile style, and avatar. Every game gives you a chance to make a bold first impression 🎼—and people *remember* an unforgettable persona.
Look over each gangster’s profile—strengths, weaknesses, quirks—and build the team that fits **your vision**. Who inspires loyalty? Who’s skilled at bluffing or stealth đŸ•”ïžâ€â™‚ïžđŸ“Š?
You outfit your team—gear up with weapons, clothes, rings, rare items—each choice says something. This is **your crew’s identity**: ruthless, subtle, flamboyant—or all three đŸ§„đŸ”«đŸ’.
You manage multiple crews—drag-and-drop simplicity. Filters help YOU spot top skills instantly. Want muscle, brains, stealth? Build crews like pieces in your chess game đŸ‘„âœš.
When **all bosses**, including you, hit “Continue,” the week begins. No one waits—when everyone is ready, the action flows ⏳🔄—you’re in control of pacing and timing.
You recruit fresh talent—raw strength or hungry ambitious new blood. Expand your roster under your terms đŸ’Ș⭐—and shape your crew’s future from the ground up.
Every cent of your cash flow is tracked. Heists, bribes, payoffs, fines—documented in the ledger. You own the books. Keep your finances sharp and unmistakable 💰📖.
See how last week’s orders played out: meetings, alliances, conflicts, ambushes. You review the outcomes—learn, adapt, refine your strategy đŸ“œâš”ïž. Lessons shape your next move.
You set diplomacy status: declare war, stay neutral, or negotiate peace. Your stance alters how conflicts unfold—and how allies or enemies behave âœ‰ïžđŸ€â€”choose wisely.
Track the city’s deadliest. The Most Wanted board ranks every boss, feud, and bounty—so you know who’s rising and who needs to fall. Meanwhile, the police are sweeping the streets, hunting everyone on that list. Stay off the radar—or end up in the papers 🎯🚔📰.
Stay briefed with nightly headlines—power plays, heat spikes, betrayals. The news desk keeps every boss in the know đŸ—žïžđŸ”„.

  • Assign exclusive blocks to a Capo; transfers first clear the previous owner (GoC-style exclusivity).
  • Auto-route collecting and patrol inside the assigned turf; allow manual overrides.
