Worker placement and clever mechanics
Each round, players try to keep their suspicion from the guards under control while allocating their crew to different locations within Kulbak. The player with the strongest crew in each location at the end of each round gains the most resources, hires the most powerful crew, and builds the most powerful items, increases their reputation. The player with the highest reputation at the end of six rounds, wins the game.
Reviews of Lockup
"It's a fantastic worker placement game and the reason for that is the level of tension and the level of interaction, I think, is really high."

"If you are looking for a very thinky worker placement game with an offbeat subject matter... you might want to checkout Lockup."
Assign your minions! Take turns strategically placing your crew's minions in locations within Kulbak prison.
Place some minions face up showing their strength, and others face down, hiding their strength from other players until it's time to reveal.
2.) Lights Out
Under cover of night, reap your rewards and gain resources, craft valuable contraband items, and recruit powerful goons.
But be wary of attracting too much suspicion from the guards…
3.) Patrol
Guards patrol the dungeon, providing new resources to the rooms of the prison. But if too much suspicion has been raised by your activities, they’ll instigate a Raid!
Crews with the most suspicion will have their chambers searched and suffer a loss of reputation.
4.) Earn your freedom
Only the strongest will be chosen.
After 6 rounds, the crew who has gained the most reputation stars from goal cards, crafted loot, and recruited goons wins a fighting shot at freedom in the king's coliseum!
