About the Game

You could never have known you would end up in a situation like this, yet here you are: helping a Mexican cartel with money laundering. The cartel doesn’t listen to excuses and rarely gives second chances. You would not wish to disappoint them. You know what happened to the last person who did.



And so, you start small in a secluded town in Minnesota, surrounded by beautiful forests filled with dark secrets. There are several factions already in play here, and they will not want to share their influence with a rising force… but can you survive without allies?

You will need all your courage, ingenuity and perseverance to overcome the challenges before you. Even those closest to you might betray you, but you might find allies in the most unexpected places.



  • Plan your actions, acquire businesses, protect and promote your business

  • Balance your reputation with the police and two local criminal gangs lest your unreliable comrades turn against you

  • Make choices and face consequences that aren’t always immediately apparent; there is no such thing as a perfect solution

  • Embrace the corruption and climb the ranks in the cartel, try to ask the FBI for help… or find another way to ensure your safety and independence
