📖 About This Game
Move stealthily around the city, collecting Rattlecans (Spray Paint) and using them to create paintings, while placing your “stickers” on walls in each borough of New York City as you go. Earn street cred for your paintings and for being the most iconic artist in each borough. If you have the most Street Cred when one player gets caught (runs out of legal moves) you win!
On their turn, a player may either move or paint.
To move, one of their two characters must move to an adjacent borough tile, and either up or down one subway line. For example, if the player's character pawn is currently on the 2 line, they may move to an adjacent tile's 1 or 3 line. After moving, they collect the rattlecan associated with the space, and place a player marker over the resource space. These markers count toward influence in that borough, as well.
To paint, a player may spend, back to the supply, the required rattlecans depicted on the art card and takes that card. That card has street cred points as well as icons that help a player's secret goal card.
Players take turns until one player has no legal moves, which triggers the end game. Each remaining player takes one more turn and whomever has the most street cred from their paint cards and from the majority points given from the boroughs is the winner.
