DICTION           State agents are red, can only be used at truckstops and airports     The Federal agents are yellow and can be used at truckstops, water-                  ports or airports.

 

BEGIN In secret: The 18 Smugglers are marked on their PLAN SHEET.

Only one smuggler can be on a transport space each round.

Using Police Jurisdiction, agents are marked on their PLAN SHEET.

Only one correct police agent can be on a transport space.

                       

            When the PLAN SHEETS are done, the Police place their agents on the             map transport spaces. Then the smugglers are put on the map to see                    if DELIVERY or CAPTURE has occurred. Either side can verify the                         PLAN SHEETS with the map placements.

 

DELIVERY

Smugglers who do not have a Police agent on their transport space or have made a delivery.

 

CAPTURE

Smugglers who have a Police agent on their transport space are trapped and Police throw die for each smuggler trapped. Roll 1 or 6, smuggler wins DELIVERY. Roll 2,3,4,5, police wins a CAPTURE.                          

            Delivery values are marked on the PLAN SHEET, ITEM VALUE, smuggler.

Captured values are marked on the PLAN SHEET, ITEM VALUE, police.

            Total the Item Values for Smugglers and Police. Put the TOTALS under             ITEM VALUE TOTALS on the DATA SHEET for Smugglers and Police.

Only the Smuggler item value is captured or delivered. The 18 Smuggler players and added Illegal aliens are used each round. If an incorrect police agent is discovered, that agent is not used for that round.

 

SCORING      Record each transport space DELIVERY or CAPTURE onto the PLAN SHEET.

            Total the ITEM VALUE for smugglers and for police. Put the TOTALS onto the DATA SHEET ITEM VALUE TOTALS each round.                     

HIRING

At the end of each round the Police use the ITEM VALUE TOTAL on the DATA SHEET to hire more agents of each type according to the POLICE HIRING COSTS on the DATA SHEET. The new police agents are used to capture smugglers each round thereafter. The police agent types hired can not exceed the GOAL listed on the DATA SHEET. Any unused value is carried over for the next round use.

 

ILLEGAL ALIEN

If the smuggler carrying the illegal alien is uncaptured at the end of the rounds, a new illegal alien smuggler is added to the Smuggler side. Illegal alien smuggler value is always $400. As many as seven new illegal alien smugglers can be added and follow the same rules.

NOTE:            Wipe the plastic PLAN SHEETS clean after each round for reuse.
