Description

In Gangs of Britannia, you'll lead one of the UK's most notorious historical gangs, competing for dominance over major cities like London, Birmingham, and Glasgow. With 3 to 5 players, you'll spread your mobs, collect payouts, and use secret intelligence to advance your influence. The game is easy to learn, but don't be fooled - it's a complex web of bluffing, deduction, and negotiation that will test even the strongest bonds between players. As you navigate the game, you'll encounter a unique "Prisoner's Dilemma" mechanism that rewards deal-making or deception, depending on your fellow players' choices. With variable player powers and worker placement, every game is different. Will you forge alliances or betray your opponents? In Gangs of Britannia, trust is slowly built but quickly broken, and only the most cunning players will emerge victorious in this 45 to 75 minute game of strategy and skill.
