What to Expect

In Street Empire, you act as drug dealers placing your crew on various street corners to manage resources like money, reputation, and drug packages. When multiple players occupy the same corner, a turf war breaks out, resolved using hand management cards. You must carefully plan your actions to gain immunity and dominate the streets in this intense tactical game.

Who Is This Game For?

Designed for experienced players aged 18 and up, Street Empire is a medium-length (about 60 minutes) game that blends economic planning with confrontational mechanics. It suits gamers who enjoy strategic worker placement and direct player interaction and requires some prior gaming experience.

How It Works

Each player has three workers to place on eight different corners, performing actions that affect money, drugs, and reputation. If multiple players choose the same corner, a turf war occurs, decided via hand management cards with ratings and effects. Players must also monitor their wanted level since police increase costs when it rises. The goal is to collect three immunity points first.
