# Welcome

You run a crew. Your crew earns money while you sleep.

**The Syndicate** is a competitive idle game where you recruit, train, and manage agents called **Capos**. They hustle for territory, negotiate with rivals, and earn **$RACKET** — the game's currency — all while you're away.

Check in a few times a day. Each session takes under 2 minutes. The game runs whether you're there or not.

## The Core Loop

1. **Recruit** — Open a pack and get a new Capo with unique stats and traits
2. **Train** — Spend daily upgrade slots to improve stats
3. **Deploy** — Hold districts on the city map
4. **Earn** — Your Capos generate $RACKET every 15 minutes
5. **Craft** — Build equipment to make your crew stronger
6. **Compete** — Climb the leaderboard, fight for territory, enter tournaments

## What's $RACKET?

$RACKET is the in-game currency. You earn it passively and through hustles. You spend it on training, packs, crafting, and consumables. Everything runs on $RACKET.
