About this board game

Wildstyle is a simultaneous-action board game for 2–5 players, played in about 40 minutes. In this 2022 game, the city is your canvas: collect matching location cards, claim map spaces with your crew’s color, and push your rivals out of your turf.

Everyone acts at the same time, choosing actions in any order during each of the game’s three rounds. Build sets on your crew mat, share cards with other players, and watch the available cards as the city’s districts become increasingly contested.

  • Draw a card: Take the top card from any draw pile.
  • Add to a set: Place a card from your hand or the top of the share pile onto one of your set piles.
  • Share a card: Add a card to an empty share pile or one whose top card matches its color or icon.
  • Complete a set: Clear three cards with the same location icon and place a tag on a matching map hex.
  • Rush a set: Take a cop car token to clear an incomplete set and tag a matching map hex.

A round ends when all draw piles are empty or when only one player has tags remaining on their map. Then each player receives six crew tags from the supply before the next round begins. The pressure comes from acting quickly while deciding whether to develop your own sets, use shared cards, or rush an incomplete set.

After three rounds, score objectives and every map hex where you have both a tag and control. Cop car tokens and solo tags cost points, so reckless expansion can hurt your final result. With its shared-card system, simultaneous play, and colorful turf struggle, Wildstyle puts every crew in a race to make its mark across the city.
