Rackets & Rats: Logic Puzzle

A puzzle you can't refuse.

Welcome to the 1920s, detective. The city is divided, the families are ruthless, and every case file on your desk is a tangled web of rackets and rats. Your job? Pin down the Capos and map out the territories before the turf war boils over.

Rackets & Rats is a pure logic puzzle wrapped in a gritty noir thriller. Based on the classic "Star Battle" ruleset, we’ve traded the stars for fedoras.

THE RULES OF THE STREET
You are handed a grid divided into different territories (rackets). To crack the case, you must place exactly one Capo in every:
• Row
• Column
• Racket

But these bosses don't play nice. No two Capos can ever touch—not even diagonally. Place them too close, and it's curtains.

GUESSING? FUHGEDDABOUDIT.

Leave the guess. Take the proof. Every single board in Rackets & Rats is hand-crafted to be solved with 100% pure deduction. If you're stuck, you don't need luck—you need to look closer. There are no dead-ends, no blind coin flips, and absolutely zero guessing allowed. The truth is in the grid.
