Using the 5 Wards board game is a breeze. First, set up the game board, gang boards, and all the tokens, cards, and tiles as described in the rules. Each player picks a gang from the 5 colorful crews. Then, start recruiting thugs to your gang and deploy them to the 5 wards to try and gain control of the city. Remember, each ward has a different scoring condition that's randomly determined at the start. Use the Tactics cards to your advantage, like manipulating the dice or executing schemes against your rivals. When you engage in a brawl, follow the rules on the Brawl cards.

Also, make sure to store the game in its box or a proper container to keep everything organized and prevent loss of pieces.
