Description

In Gangster's Dilemma, you're a gangster trying to make a name for yourself by satisfying the Mob Boss' demands. The game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - it's full of tough choices and sneaky moves. With 3 to 7 players, you'll be competing to loot the city's hot spots, grabbing valuable goods like crates, art, and cash, all while avoiding the cops and other gangsters. Each round, you'll secretly choose your target, hoping to stay one step ahead of the law and your rivals. But when the cops show up, you'll have to decide whether to pay bribes, stay silent, or rat out your fellow gangsters. With simultaneous action selection and variable player powers, every game is different, and you'll need to bluff and negotiate your way to the top. With a playtime of just 30 to 45 minutes, Gangster's Dilemma is the perfect game for a quick, thrilling fix of mafia-themed fun.
