Description

It's the roaring twenties and prohibition is in full swing, but that isn't stopping the demand for booze. As a player in Bootleggers, you'll take on the role of an enterprising boss seeking to make a name for yourself in the illegal alcohol trade. You'll need to navigate the underworld of organized crime, building alliances and muscling in on the competition to control the distribution of "hooch". With 3 to 6 players, the game is full of deceit, lies, and temporary alliances as you try to outmaneuver each other. You'll pay off local law authorities, build underground speakeasies, and ship trucks of illicit liquor to come out on top. The game is easy to learn for those familiar with board games, and a typical play session lasts around 90 minutes. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of bootlegging and experience the thrill of the prohibition era.
