About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to dive headfirst into a gangland underworld? "Lawless Empire: Lawless Invasion" isn't just a game; it's an expansion that supercharges the base game with a fresh invasion plot in Scarpizo. A brand-new Yakuza clan is rolling in, aiming to take over all the city's vices, and they're clashing with the local mafia! This expansion packs 8 new goons (soldati) and 8 scheme cards to amp up the unpredictability and give your base game some serious replayability. And the art? A splash of Japanese aesthetics to plunge you straight into an epic gang war between the Yakuza and the Mafia. If you're into faction brawls with bluffing, deduction, and plenty of dice rolling, this invasion will hook you. Get ready to test your memory and your smooth talk, because here, those who forget and those who don't lie, get taken down! It's the kind of game that keeps you on the edge of your seat, contemplating every move and trying to decipher your rivals' intentions. The theme is strong, and the tension only builds with each round. Let's take over Scarpizo!
