Judge Dredd: Block Gang Reinforcements is an expansion for Judge Dredd: I am the Law – Starter Set released in 2019 for 2–8 players, 60–240 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Andy Chambers, Gavin Thorpe, and Roger Gerrish and its main mechanics are Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game.
The ranks of the many Mega-City One gangs are made up of juves, punks, and lieutenants amongst others. Starting as early as the tender age of six years old, the majority of juves carry melee weapons although some may have low-grade firearms. Low-level gang members, punks are the foot soldiers of the organisation, acting as extra muscle when necessary. Gang lieutenants coordinate the day-to-day activities of the gang and are usually permitted to organise heists and run their own rackets as long as they bring in the creds and continue to show respect and fealty to the boss. —description from the publisher
Judge Dredd: Block Gang Reinforcements supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Judge Dredd: Block Gang Reinforcements is 60–240 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Judge Dredd: Block Gang Reinforcements for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
