Assemble your gang and step into the bustling streets of a booming Victorian city in this 2-5 player competition for control of the 5 Wards. Recruit and deploy your Thugs, brawl with rivals, execute devious schemes and establish your colorful crew as the most notorious and powerful bunch of hooligans around.

In "5 Wards," players aim to deploy their thugs strategically across the city map to gain control of different wards. Each of the five wards has a unique victory point (VP) scoring condition, determined randomly during setup. These wards score only once at the end of the game, making every point crucial.

The game blends elements of area control, worker placement, dice selection, and card play. The final round is triggered when the landmark deck is exhausted, and the gang with the most VPs at the end wins.
