Families: Stronger Together in BELLOCCO

A family is the organized heart of BELLOCCO. On your own you can get pretty far, but real power belongs to those who work together. A family shares a name, a tag and a common family bank. It is the difference between a lone street thug and an organized mafia family that controls entire districts. If you are serious about competing for the top, a family is not a luxury but a necessity. Play for free and help build your own family.

Founding or joining a family

There are two ways to get started.

• Founding one yourself costs €250,000, and you also need at least 50 respect to prove you already mean something on the streets. You choose the name (3 to 40 characters) and the tag (2 to 6 capital letters or digits); both must be unique on the server. From then on you are the boss: everything the family builds is your creation.
• Joining is the fastest route to results. There are two ways: you get invited by a family, or you send a request yourself to a family that is open to applications. You jump straight into a running organization with income, territory and experienced members who help you along.

There is no waiting time between leaving a family and founding or joining a new one: you can move on right away.

The four ranks

Every family has four ranks, each with its own permissions:

• Boss: the founder or successor. Can do everything: disband the family, hand over leadership, set the family tax and decide the mandatory donation.
• Underboss: the boss's right-hand man. Can kick members and change ranks, withdraw money from the treasury, buy walls and energy, buy and upgrade businesses and lead an attack or war.
• Right Hand: may recruit members: send invites, accept or reject applications and upgrade the member limit.
• Member: takes part, deposits into the family bank and can leave the family at any time (the boss must first hand over leadership or disband the family).

A new family starts with room for 8 members. The boss or underboss can raise that limit in steps of 2, up to a maximum of 30 members: each upgrade costs the current limit × €40,000 from the family treasury.

What does a family give you?

Playing together unlocks systems that simply do not exist solo. This is what a family brings you:

• Territory: turf is income. Conquer districts and defend them to build a steady, passive cash flow and a lasting advantage for the whole crew.
• Family shop: shared businesses that build up an hourly wage pot for paid members, with a family tax that sends a share to the treasury.
• Family bank: a shared treasury every member can donate to. Donations also count toward achievements, so depositing pays off twice.
• Family war: fight for power against rival families, with respect on the line.
• Alliances: make pacts with other families so you never attack each other and stand stronger against the rest.
• Route 66 heist: the big family heist you can only pull off with the whole crew, with loot no solo job can match.

Family respect and the leaderboard

Besides your personal respect, your family also builds family respect: it rises by winning attacks and building unbroken winning streaks, and it decides your family's position on the main leaderboard. A family that wins more often and stays active climbs to the top faster than a family that sits still.

Strategy: how do you become a dominant family?

A name and a tag do not make a strong family. Power is built through discipline and teamwork. A few proven principles:

• Activity over numbers. A small group of active members who log in, donate and take part every day beats a big group of sleeping names. Select on commitment, not size.
• Build your base first. Grab territory early and set up the family shop, including enough energy to keep it running. A stable income funds your wars and expansion.
• Keep the treasury healthy. A well-stocked family bank is your war chest and your safety net. Note: when a family is disbanded, the entire treasury is lost.
• Pick your wars. Do not throw yourself blindly into every conflict. Attack when you are stronger and use alliances to keep your borders safe.
• Coordinate the big job. The Route 66 heist takes planning. Agree on who joins and when, so the loot is as big as possible.

An active family with strong, well-coordinated members dominates the leaderboards and wins the wars that matter. Ready to build your own crew or join the best? Play for free and start today.
