Description

In Gangsters, you're the boss of an organized crime syndicate in Chicago during the Prohibition era, fighting for control of Speakeasies, Gambling Joints, and Protection Rackets. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 5 players can join in on the action, using their Racketeers, Thugs, and Vamps to direct the public into their establishments and make some cash. The game is fast-paced, with timed turns that can have dire consequences - just be prepared to get soaked with the included water pistol if you're on the receiving end of a hit. As you navigate the mean streets, you'll have multiple paths to victory, but beware - in the 5-player version, one unlucky player will be forced to play the cops. With 120 minutes of playtime, you'll need to strategize and use your Action Points wisely to come out on top. Designed by Don Greenwood and published in 1992, Gangsters is a classic game of mafia-themed fun that's sure to bring excitement and laughter to your game night.
