1 · The Goal

Be the FIRST to hit all four targets at the start of your week:

2 · Your Week

⏰ Every turn is one week with 60 hours. Walking the board, entering buildings, working shifts (6h) and classes (4h) all burn time. When the clock's done, hit End Week — the weekend happens to you (good and bad), rent accrues, prices re-roll.

🍔 EAT EVERY WEEK — buy a meal or stock groceries — or start next week drained (-8h).

3 · Getting Paid

💼 Jobs are applied for at the Hustle Hub ONLY (or from anywhere with a Brick Cellphone ). Better gigs need Skillz, mastered elements, experience and a dress code. Then show up at your employer and work shifts. Skip work 3 weeks and you're fired.

📰 The Gazette prints which employer pays +15% each week. Read the paper, chase the money.

4 · The Six Elements

🎤 Nobody starts with a skill. Master rap, DJing, breakin', graffiti, beatboxing or video making at The Cypher Spot (6 sessions each — your own character's discipline is 2 sessions faster and 25% cheaper).

Mastered skills unlock: elite jobs, paid street gigs in the park (once per skill per week), and the Friday Cypher Battle — $20 entry, winner takes the pot + clout.

5 · Money Matters

🏦 The bank pays interest weekly. The Block Exchange sells stocks — crash-proof bonds to wild mixtape shares. 📉 From week 8 the economy booms and crashes: crashes fire people and can wipe bank savings (bonds survive!), but everything's cheap — buy the dip.

🧾 Loans are quick, but pay something every month or you default: vibes bleed and your credit is damaged for good. 🔨 Pawn your stuff for quick cash; buy it back within 4 weeks.

6 · Home & Living

🏠 Rent accrues weekly — pay Sal or face garnished wages, then eviction. Lock your rate when prices dip. Upgrade: The Block → Skyline Lofts (burglar-proof) → Big Pimpin' Villa (needs $2,500 net worth; +5 vibes weekly, elite chilling).

📺 Furnish your crib: appliances add weekly vibes, a fridge/freezer stores more food, a 486 speeds up classes... but stuff breaks down — and Shady Sam's bargains break 2.5x more often. 🥵 Chill regularly: burnt-out players get burgled and land at the doctor.

7 · Rivals & Crew

😈 Big Jonesy grinds the same streets (three difficulty levels). Any player slot can be CPU. 🌐 Online: host a room, share the 6-letter code — friends connect directly, and can rejoin with the same name if they drop.
