About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, dice-rolling casino lovers! A promo card has arrived that can really shake things up in Lords of Vegas: Underworld. This little gem, called "Vegas Shutdown," was created to support industry workers during tough times. When discarded, it injects some extra cash into everyone's pockets: a million for each of your dice in casinos and parking lots you own. But heads up, because you won't draw a property card this turn, so plan accordingly!

The coolest part is that when the "Vegas Shutdown" card comes off the deck, it causes a general reshuffling of casino dice. The highest dice in each casino are set to 3, and all other dice are set to 1. This can drastically change area control and game dynamics, forcing a new race for the most profitable casinos. After this little chaos, the next property card drawn will pay out all casinos, which could be a golden opportunity for those who can best leverage the new landscape.

This card is an add-on for those who backed Lords of Vegas: Underworld on Kickstarter, so it wasn't in the standard pack. It's a way to add an extra kick to your experience of building your Vegas empire, introducing an unexpected event that can benefit everyone but requires quick adaptation to maximize gains. If you enjoy the negotiation, area control, and dice-chucking fun of Lords of Vegas, this promo might be an interesting find to add more twists to your games.
