About the game
Big Boss Dens come into play when a Big Boss is discovered. Each gang have their own Big Boss Den that is designed for the abilities and flavor of that specific gang. Big Boss Dens are tough to beat, but reward the player with more victory points and wild tokens than even the toughest dens in a standard game of Vengeance. Gambling Dens add a further challenge in your quest for vengeance in the form of fortified doors. Fortified doors make it harder to move through and block shooting for both you and the baddies. But for the deft ones that infilitrate them, there's more wild tokens to be had. Big Boss and Gambling Dens increase the difficulty of a game of Vengeance while rewarding players if they overcome them.
