Details

In 1920, an extensive illegal circuit was established in the United States, controlled by Italian immigrants. They were the founders of the infamous Mafia, and smuggled distilled spirits from Canada on a large scale. The drink was sold illegally with huge profits in seemingly harmless establishments called speak-easies. Chicago was the most important smuggling city due to its location. In this game, the players take on the role of notorious mafiosi such as Al Capone, Dutch Schultz and Bugsy Malone. They try to adopt speak-easies by laying poker combinations. It mainly concerns pubs, Jazz clubs, illegal breweries and gambling places. The player who is the first to check three of the same, four different, or five random speak easies wins the game. Age: from 10 years Game duration: approx. 44 minutes Content: - 20 hexagonal companies - 75 Gangster Cards - 6 special cards - 6 overview maps - 4 bullets - game rules
