Lockup

Craft contraband, recruit goons, and become the most notorious inmate in Kulbak Prison! This competitive worker-placement game from Thunderworks Games puts you in charge of a crew of fantasy creatures all vying for prison dominance.

Manage your band of minions—choose from gnolls, kobolds, bugbears, goblins, or insectoids—as you allocate them to different locations throughout the prison. The unique semi-hidden bidding process creates tense moments as you try to outmaneuver your rivals while keeping your suspicion level from the guards under control.

The player with the strongest crew in each location at the end of a round gains the most resources, recruits the most powerful allies, and crafts the most valuable contraband—all increasing your reputation among the inmates. Place your workers shrewdly to gain what you need without drawing too much attention from the guards!

After six rounds of strategic worker placement and resource management, the player with the highest reputation is declared the most notorious inmate in all of Kulbak Prison. Even features a robust solo mode against an AI opponent for when your crew is doing solitary time!

Perfect for 1-5 players ages 14+, with games lasting around 90 minutes.
