Bad Company is a strategic board game where players assemble and customize their own criminal gang. Each player starts with a board featuring 11 gang members, which can be upgraded by overlapping cards to enhance abilities and alter their visual appearance. The game involves gathering resources to execute heists, earning money to recruit new members, and evading police pursuit.
Players activate gangsters to collect resources, upgrade their crew, or advance their getaway car along the city route to secure loot. Completed heists may grant special abilities, allowing for varied strategic approaches. Designed for 1 to 6 players aged 8 and up, the game offers quick turns and minimal downtime, making it suitable for family play. A solo mode challenges players to outmaneuver the police. Average playtime ranges from 30 to 45 minutes.
Things to Keep in MindA consistent point of concern among reviewers is the quality and design of some physical components, particularly the two main game boards, which are often described as small, thin, and prone to warping. Additionally, the game's reliance on dice rolls introduces a significant element of randomness that may not appeal to all players. Why You'll Like ItPlayers frequently note that the game is easy to learn, offers quick turns, and maintains engagement for all participants through its simultaneous action mechanic. It is often described as a fun experience with a good balance of strategy and luck, making it accessible for various player types.
