Dungeon Petz : Dark Alleys

The black market adds so much decision space to the base game, especially when you're bidding on pets you can't fully inspect yet. Booking a facility slot now feels like a real gamble instead of a routine choice. My group's played it four times and we're still finding new combos.

Hiring an illegal worker during the hiring phase felt sneaky in the best way, and the black market let me grab a pet nobody else could afford. The new alley cards slot right into the base game without slowing anything down.

Booking a facility slot sounds boring until you realize how tight the timing gets with everything else you're juggling. The black market pets are worth every coin if you grab them early enough.
