About The Game

Start a crime syndicate from nothing, and grow it into a
well-oiled money machine. Build speakeasies and illegal
distilleries. Manage production chains and resource distribution.
Smuggle goods from out of town and bribe the police to look the
other way. Grow a powerful crew and keep your rivals under your
thumb. Eliminate competition and rule the city. But most
importantly, keep the money flowing.

The year is 1920, the start of Prohibition in the USA. With
congressional action, a huge segment of the national economy
becomes illegal overnight: bars and saloons are ordered to close,
distilleries and breweries go quiet, distributors shut down. But a
new era is dawning: a gilded age for smugglers, black markets,
illegal manufacture, and organized crime.

This is where you come in. You’re a new arrival in the city at
the dawn of Prohibition, with ambitions of striking it big. Behind
many of the city’s facades, people are building makeshift
distilleries, secret loading docks, nighttime speakeasies. Work
your way into this network, and the world will be yours.

But think beyond making a quick buck or two. You gotta be
thinking ahead. You gotta be thinking bigger. Much bigger.

Key features

Well-organized crime

Get started in the booze biz by hocking some homemade hooch.
Start your own stills, and find raw materials to supply them. Learn
new techniques to make expensive drinks, or smuggle imported booze
to fuel your growing operation. Soon you’ll be supplying entire
neighborhoods, and opening your own swinging speakeasies.

You gotta know a guy

On the black market, social currency matters as much as the
greenback. With cops and feds sniffing around, trust is everything
and personal introductions are worth their weight in gold. So work
your connections to find profitable new friends, and get people who
owe you favors to put in a good word.

You can’t do it alone

You will need plenty of hands to open new fronts, do delivery
runs, and protect your product from envious rivals. Your outfit’s
ambitions are only limited by the number of people working for you.
Keep them paid, armed, and organized, and who knows how far and how
fast you’ll rise.

The walls have ears

But proceed carefully, because everyone is always observing
what you’re doing, and family members stick up for each other.
Whether you send your people to harass someone, or to help them,
you can be sure they’ll remember it down the line.

Getting territorial

As your outfit grows, convince locals that your goods and
theirs will be looked after. Territory under your control will
provide a safety net, an income base, and a wealth of opportunities
for further growth and expansion.

This era belongs to you

You’ve grabbed the opportunity by the horns, and the city is
yours for the taking. But you only have a few years to make your
mark on history, to build the largest, most profitable crime
syndicate, take over your competition, and rule the entire city.
Because after 1933, it will be all over, alcohol will be legal
again. And doing business fair and square, well, everybody knows
that’s not where the real money is.
