How it works

  • 🛒Buy low, sell high. Every price is tagged to show how it stacks up against the street average.
  • 🎲Seven drugs move through the city, but only five are on the street in any borough on a given day, and the mix changes every time you show up. Don't get stuck holding something nobody wants.
  • 🧥Everything you carry has to fit in your trench coat and jeans, about 3 litres. An ounce of weed fills a jeans pocket, while the same space holds a small fortune in coke. Need more room? A $6,500 Louis Vuitton backpack from Manhattan adds 10 litres, but it makes you a target.
  • 📦Dealers only have so much to sell, and buyers only want so much. When product is scarce, prices climb and buyers are hungry. When it's everywhere, it's cheap and hard to move. Stuff your pockets and they bulge, and cops notice.
  • 🚇Every trip between boroughs takes a day, and you've only got thirty.
  • 🦈You start with $10,000 from the loan shark. His vig is 20% a week, first due on day 8, so pay him back before then and it costs you nothing extra. Still owe him on vig day and a collector might come looking for you. Pay him off and he'll lend you more for less the next time you're in the Bronx.
  • 🚔Big deals raise your heat, and heat brings cops.
