About the Game

Save Bumblebrook from Its Corrupt Mayor

Recruit townsfolk, assemble specialized crews, and complete schemes designed to drive Bumblebrook’s corrupt Mayor out of town.

Each completed scheme adds wanted posters to the Mayor’s Investigation Board. Choose where they are placed, plan strategic arrests, manage the limited jail space, and break essential recruits free before the rebellion collapses.

Use recruit abilities, travel between locations with different strategic advantages, and adapt your plans as the Mayor becomes increasingly difficult to defeat.

You are not working alone.

Barnaby Bristle is running his own rebellion at the same time. He may contribute recruits, complete schemes, or interfere with your carefully constructed plans. Learning when to help Barnaby—and when to work around him—is a central part of the game.
