Gangster Theme Overview

Adjusted for clarity.

Previously "Events step: You may choose to play no events from your hand at all. If you do, gain 10 coins instead."

The previous wording caused some confusion regarding the timing of the choice. Do players take the money immediately, or only at the end of the Events step when they have in fact played no events?

The revised wording is intended to make it clear that if the player gains coins immediately if they choose that option, and playing events (of any kind, for simplicity) is then prohibited.

Adjusted for clarity.

Previously "Return all staff members in your park to your hand."

The new version handles the change in state through the keyword "dismiss", which means that other effects that trigger from dismissal can come into play. The previous version wasn't clear whether just putting the staff back into your hand counted as dismissal or not.

Clarified the blueprint requirement.

Previously did not include "+ Gangster theme icon".

Because the Car Chase has a Gangster theme built-in, it wasn't clear whether "any other upgrade" meant "other than the one already there" or not. This raised questions, so this version clarifies that it means any other upgrade in addition to the theme.

Added the word "with".

The original version omitted the word "with" after "Any Hotel". This raised questions about what subtle distinction was implied by the absence of this word (in fact, there was no coded message,  it was a mistake).

Anonymous Complaint: adjusted for clarity.

Previously "close all ride attractions", now limited to "a type of ride attraction".

The original effect proved to be a bit more harsh than some players expected (especially those who built all-ride parks).

The new effect is limited to one type of ride attraction, without saying specifically "thrill ride" or "leisure ride", which means it can expand to work with future theme packs that include other types of rides without needing to be changed again.

Original printings of this card have a small variation in the wording of Project Management. It was previously written as:

• "You may draw three Blueprint cards and choose one to keep. You may discard a Blueprint card you own." 

  Please use this wording, from the current version of the card, if there is any dispute about the intention:

• "You may draw up to three Blueprint cards then choose one to keep. You may discard a blueprint you own." 

The change to the first sentence allows the card to still be useful in the case when the Blueprint deck has fewer than three cards remaining. This was the intended functioning of the card, and wasn't expressed precisely enough in the original printing.

The change to the second sentence doesn't change the meaning. The wording was adjusted to bring it into the line with improvements in the wording guidelines for card rules.

SkyDrink is a proud sponsor of theme parks all over the world. SkyDrink, the SkyDrink logo, and the Somewhat Active Ribbon device are trademarks of SkyDrink Pty Ltd. SkyDrink is a division of ⬛ Generico Global.

Yes, that is a body in the foundations. Whaddya expect for half price?

Waste Management: adjusted for clarity.

Previously "Draw three Park cards." Now "Draw three Park cards and put them into your hand."

This change was to help clarify whether the cards are in your hand to choose from in the following part of the rule. This way it's clear that you can discard the cards you've just drawn, because they are now in your hand. It also helps to clarify an interaction with the Idol of the Clenched Fist, which allows you to refuse to discard cards from your hand when forced.

The dumpster in Waste Management shows a number of familiar items, including some Skydrink bottles, an old robot from the Animatronic Show, that teddy bear that keeps popping up all over the place, some Tiger Experience t-shirts that the Souvenir Seller couldn't offload, and a copy of Unfair itself (I  guess it's just too meta to sell theme-park-themed items in a theme park).

The name tag reads "Winston", a reference to the character of Winston Wolfe, also a cleaner, played by actor Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction (1994).

The chairs shown are a padded restaurant seat, a deluxe roller coaster seat, and a fancy recliner cinema seat.

The Lockers and Coat Check appears in a number of theme packs, and each time the name of the storage facility reflects that theme.

• B-movie: Ed Wood Memorial Archives
• Comicbook: ??? Mystery Boxes ???
• Gangster: Hoffa's Storage
• Pirate: Davy Jones' Lockers
• Robot: Skynet Safety Services
• Vampire: Van Helsing's Vaults
• Western: Deadwood Lockboxes

There may also be a relevant cameo from time to time.

Swapped the "Super attractions: 1" line with the "Total attractions: 5" line. 

We'd received questions about whether the super attractions are included in the attraction limit or not. The rulebook answered that, and it answers it even more emphatically now, but we also thought that putting the "Total attraction" limit last would help to make that clearer. Better to reprint only 6 cards now than change it later and need to reprint 10, or 14, or...

This main gate is used in the background of the Grand Opening game changer.

Big Al is a respectable businessman who for some reason is featured in the Gangster theme pack. He owns a wide range of businesses, including Waste Management, a Pizzeria, and employs various Building Contractors. His financial services include loans for up-and-coming entrepreneurs at generous rates, and occasionally helping to cover the outrageous Insurance Excess payments demanded by insurers. He will also take any pair of unwanted Showcase cards off your hands, at a more-than-fair price.
