If you already enjoy the vibe of Nothing Personal, get ready to ramp up the tension at the table. The Associates expansion arrives to give your criminal empire a much-needed upgrade, bringing new henchmen and dynamics that make the fight for territory even more fierce. It's not just about putting more pieces on the board; we're talking about new layers of strategy that force you to rethink your alliances and how you manage your influence.

The base game is already intense, but with Associates, resource management and player interaction get a fresh boost. You'll have access to new characters with distinct abilities, meaning those tactics you used to dominate the city might not work anymore against opponents who now have more sophisticated tools. The negotiation dynamic—the heart of the game—becomes even more visceral, as having the right partners can be the difference between total control and bankruptcy.

Expect more cards, more combat possibilities, and, of course, more reasons to betray that friend who swore loyalty. The expansion maintains the essence of 'who's the boss here?', but adds the complexity needed for those who have already mastered the basic rules and want a bigger challenge. It's the ideal complement for those who love influence games where silver-tongued negotiation is as important as luck with the dice. If you're looking to scale up the conflict and make your games deeper and more unpredictable, Associates is the perfect addition to your organized crime collection.
