Can you hustle? In this club, it takes much more than good looks to succeed... In Nightshift, you play as Dancer, each with their own special ability. Your goal? To make the most money over the night. 

Players use their Energy to navigate the club in search of worthwhile Customers. Each Customer is unique, so choose them wisely! Engaging with a Customer involves rolling the dice, which combined with the Player’s abilities, Power Cards, and potentially a few Drinks, will determine the Outcome.

Successfully getting a Customer to the Private Room, or even better, the lucrative VIP Room, initiates a theme-based “push-your-luck” mini game. The aim is to maximise earnings from the Customer without breaking the illusion... And if you leave them wanting more, they'll become subscribers to your online fan-site where you can earn additional income later on.

Players can purchase Drinks from the Bar, Champagne is a valuable tool for persuading Customers to extend their time with you in the Private Room or VIP Room, whilst Shots can help you get them in there.

As the atmosphere shifts around midnight, the full moon will trigger an Event that can change the game, for better, or for worse...

You'll also need to be strategic about how you manage your time, because at certain points in the night, you'll be rostered on stage, where you'll earn extra Tips and Power Cards, which can be used to advance your own agenda, or undermine others… 

So, will you help your fellow Dancers, or will you play dirty?
