Tiny Epic Crimes: Crooked Capos Mini Expansion is an expansion for Tiny Epic Crimes released in 2023 for 1–4 players. It was designed by Scott Almes and its main mechanics are Area Majority / Influence, Deduction, and Cooperative Game.
A new breed of well-funded criminal is loose in the streets—the Capos. These fat cats are villains-for-hire, and it is your job to take them into custody. However, it has come to your attention that corruption has infected your precinct. Several of your more shady comrades have been racking in dirty money to look the other way. Can you truly trust your fellow officers to meet duty’s call? Crooked Capos has 2 separate modules that can individually be added to the game: "Crooked" and "Capos." In the Crooked module, players are dealt Loyalty Cards which state whether they are “CLEAN” or “CROOKED.” Players can investigate whether another cop is crooked, getting either big rewards (if they are right) or big penalties (if wrong). In the Capos module, the Capos represent an extra challenge and reward for the officers! Capos are treated like mobsters while in the city, but are not like regular mobsters. Instead, each can only be arrested by following the requirements listed on their card. —description from the publisher
