Suspicion Meets Strategy: In the Crew, players take on the roles of low-ranking members in a large criminal organization. Negotiate with fellow crew members to pull off various jobs and earn the trust of the Old Don. Every job risks police interference —and one crew member may secretly be an informant working against you. The potential traitor in this social deduction game adds an extra layer of deception and mistrust which builds tension and anticipation each round. If the cops are called on your job was it just bad luck, or is there a clue it was an inside job? Jobs Pay - If You Get Away from the Cops: If the crew's teamwork succeeds, players get paid in cash, permanent assets and powerful one-time use rewards. If the cops show up, the job fails and you and your crew take nothing. But, who called the cops? The 13th Street Crew is unique among social deduction strategy games in that there might be a police informant or it might be that you and your fellow crew members are just bad at crime. Win Together… or Alone: With strategic planning, loyal crew members can share victory, but greed or betrayal may lead others to attempt a coup by cutting you out and attempting to win alone. Worse, a hidden informant can win by bringing the whole operation down . . . or running off with the money by themselves! Easy to Learn, Hard to Trust: This fun, addictive, and engaging party game, where alliances are fragile and betrayal is always a possibility, is simple to learn and thrilling to play.
