New Expeditions
Tax Evasion
Billy Beltbuckles, the mafia's "accountant" needs your help cooking the books, if you catch the drift. A little smudge in the books here, some misplaced money over there, whatever you can do to avoid paying dues to the Showmen and Munis. Death and taxes wait for no one, and being terrified of conflict means Billy will need your help on a regular basis.
The Most Sensational Game
Come one, come all to The Most Sensational Game! Step right up and see if you have what it takes to survive a deadly race against the infamous Batsuuri Twins. Navigate this perilous race carefully! Danger is around every corner, not only in the form of obstacles but in your opponents as well. Survive until the finish line and be crowned the Boardwalk's newest Sensation!
