We are thrilled to announce that Disco Heist Laundry, a brand new, ambitious tabletop game that plunges you headfirst into the glitz, glamour, and grit of 1980s Las Vegas, is set to launch its Kickstarter campaign on September 16th. Prepare to assemble your crew, master the art of the audacious heist, and navigate the treacherous underworld of Sin City as you strive for the ultimate score and a shot at a sun-drenched retirement.

This isn’t just another game; it’s an invitation to step back in time to an era of neon lights, pulsing disco beats, and the intoxicating scent of opportunity. Disco Heist Laundry is meticulously crafted to capture the essence of this iconic period, offering a deeply immersive experience that will test your strategic thinking, your nerve, and your ability to outwit both the law and your rivals. We’ve poured our passion for compelling narratives and engaging gameplay into every aspect of this project, and we can’t wait to share it with the world through our Kickstarter debut.

Embark on the Ultimate 1980s Vegas Heist Experience

At its core, Disco Heist Laundry is a game of planning, execution, and survival. You and your fellow players will take on the roles of criminal masterminds, each with unique skills and motivations, aiming to pull off the most daring heists the Las Vegas Strip has ever seen. The year is 1985. The city is a powder keg of ambition and corruption, and you aim to be the ones who walk away with the biggest slice of the pie. From the opulent casinos to the shadowy back alleys, every location holds potential for a lucrative score, but also carries the ever-present threat of discovery and capture.

The game is designed for 2-4 players, fostering intense competition and exhilarating cooperation as you build your criminal enterprise. The journey from a small-time grifter to a legendary kingpin is fraught with peril, demanding careful consideration of every move. Do you have what it takes to assemble a crack team, execute flawless operations, and escape the long arm of the law with your ill-gotten gains?

Assemble Your Elite Crew: The Backbone of Your Operation

No successful heist is ever the work of a single individual. In Disco Heist Laundry, the strength of your operation lies in the quality of your crew. You’ll need to recruit a diverse range of specialists, each possessing unique abilities that are crucial for overcoming the myriad challenges you’ll face. Will you seek out the smooth-talking Con Artist to charm your way past security? Perhaps the Safecracker with nerves of steel for those intricate lock mechanisms? Or maybe the Demolitions Expert to create a dramatic entrance and exit?

Each potential crew member comes with their own background, stats, and special abilities. These characters are not just pawns; they are the heart of your narrative, bringing personality and unique strategic options to the table. Building the right crew for each specific heist is paramount. A heist targeting a heavily guarded vault will require a different team composition than a smash-and-grab from a celebrity’s hotel suite. Mastering the recruitment and deployment of your crew members is a key element to achieving success and outranking your opponents in the criminal underworld.

Furthermore, as you progress through the game, your crew members can gain experience, improving their skills and unlocking new, even more potent abilities. This adds a layer of character progression and long-term strategic depth, ensuring that your crew evolves alongside your ambitions. The careful selection and development of your operatives will be the difference between retiring on a tropical beach or facing a long stretch in federal prison.

Mastering the Art of the Heist: Planning and Execution

The heart of Disco Heist Laundry lies in its innovative heist mechanics. Each heist is a multi-stage process, demanding meticulous planning and flawless execution. Before embarking on any operation, you’ll need to scout the location, gather crucial intelligence, and identify potential security measures and escape routes. This phase involves a careful assessment of risks versus rewards.

Once the plan is in place, the execution phase begins. This is where your carefully assembled crew’s abilities will shine. Will your Hacker disable the surveillance systems? Can your Muscle handle the unexpected guards? Or will your Wheelman be ready to make a swift getaway? The game utilizes a unique dice-rolling and card-play system to simulate the tension and unpredictability of a real heist. Success hinges on anticipating potential complications and having the right crew members with the right skills at the right time.

Disco Heist Laundry introduces a dynamic “Heat” mechanic, representing the attention you draw from law enforcement. The more audacious your crimes, the higher your Heat level, making future operations more difficult and increasing the risk of being apprehended. Managing your Heat is a constant balancing act, forcing you to make tough decisions about when to lay low and when to push your luck. This mechanic ensures that every action has a consequence, adding a layer of strategic depth and exciting risk management to the gameplay.

Dodging the Fuzz: Outsmarting Law Enforcement

Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps, and neither do its law enforcement agencies. In Disco Heist Laundry, the police are a constant and formidable threat. You’ll need to be constantly aware of their presence, their patrol routes, and their investigative efforts. The game features a sophisticated AI for the police that reacts dynamically to your actions, making it a genuine challenge to evade their grasp.

During the planning phase, you can invest resources in blinding surveillance or bribing informants to gain an advantage. During the execution, quick thinking and skilled maneuvers will be necessary to avoid triggering alarms or being cornered. If you’re caught, the consequences can be severe, leading to a loss of crew members, stolen loot, or even game-ending penalties.

The “Fuzz” can actively disrupt your plans, setting up roadblocks, increasing patrols in areas where you’ve recently operated, or even launching sting operations. Successfully evading the police requires a combination of careful planning, exploiting weaknesses in their security, and utilizing your crew’s unique skills. Will your getaway driver be fast enough to outrun the sirens? Can your smooth-talking crew member talk their way out of a police interrogation? These are the critical moments that define a successful heist in Disco Heist Laundry.

Shakedown the City: Expanding Your Criminal Empire

Heists are just the beginning. To achieve true retirement status, you’ll need to shakedown the city and build a powerful criminal empire. Disco Heist Laundry allows players to diversify their income streams beyond simple robberies. This could involve extortion rackets, gambling operations, or smuggling illicit goods. Each of these ventures offers unique challenges and rewards, further enriching the gameplay experience.

Expanding your empire isn’t just about accumulating wealth; it’s also about increasing your influence and control over the city’s underworld. This might involve taking over territory from rival gangs, intimidating business owners, or even manipulating corrupt officials. The more power you wield, the more opportunities will open up for even larger and more lucrative heists.

The game features a robust economic system where your laundered money can be reinvested into your operations, allowing you to recruit better crew members, acquire more advanced equipment, and even establish safe houses in strategic locations. This cyclical gameplay loop of heisting, laundering, and reinvesting is at the heart of achieving ultimate victory in Disco Heist Laundry.

The Art of Laundering: Turning Dirty Money into Clean Cash

A successful heist is only half the battle. The equally crucial, and often more complex, challenge is to launder your money. In Disco Heist Laundry, this is a detailed and engaging mechanic that directly impacts your ability to retire comfortably. Simply hoarding stolen cash will attract unwanted attention and can’t be easily spent on legitimate businesses or investments.

You’ll need to establish legitimate-looking fronts – perhaps a seedy nightclub, a glamorous casino, or a seemingly innocent car wash – to clean your dirty money. This involves a strategic investment of resources and careful management to avoid suspicion from the authorities. The effectiveness of your laundering operations directly correlates with your ability to avoid the police and fund your future endeavors.

The more efficiently you can launder your money, the faster you can reach your ultimate goal. This mechanic adds a fascinating layer of economic strategy to the game, forcing players to think beyond just the heist itself and consider the long-term implications of their criminal activities. Can you successfully mask your illicit profits behind a veneer of respectability?

Retire to a Tropical Island: The Ultimate Goal

Every criminal mastermind dreams of the day they can finally hang up their fedora and retire to a life of luxury. In Disco Heist Laundry, this is your ultimate objective. Accumulating enough laundered money, building enough influence, and most importantly, evading capture long enough to escape the city with your fortune is the path to victory.

The game features multiple victory conditions, all revolving around achieving a certain level of wealth and notoriety while maintaining a low enough Heat profile to make a clean getaway. Will you meticulously plan your exit strategy from the start, or will you be tempted by one last massive score, risking everything for the ultimate payout?

The allure of a tropical island retirement is the driving force behind every daring plan and every calculated risk. It’s the promise of freedom from the constant pressure of the criminal world. Achieving this goal requires a masterful blend of strategic planning, crew management, risk assessment, and a healthy dose of luck.
