| BOOTLEGGERS The Board game
It's the roaring 20's and prohibition is in full swing in America.
The business of illegal alcohol is growing bigger and getting more
dangerous by the day. With so much money and corruption, organized
crime is sure to follow. Illegal stills dot the countryside and
(not so) secret speakeasies exist in every major city. Local authorities
look the other way for a price, but G-Men are harder to sway and
can wreak havoc on a budding enterprise.
In Bootleggers, you take the role of a boss, making a name for
yourself in the trade of illegal alcohol or "hooch". By
muscling in on competition, paying off local authorities, and shipping
trucks of hooch, your goal is to make more money than your competition
by using any and all means available, both fair and unfair as you
see fit.
Sound easy? Don't bet on it. Bootleggers is easy to learn, but
hard to master. It is a strategy game based on the production, shipment
and consumption of illegal whiskey. Start your "family business"
and build it into an empire. Deceit, lies, and alliances of convenience
are the norm as you attempt to control the whiskey trade any way
you can. Remember, it's not personal, it's business. How you interact
with your fellow bosses is very important. But be careful, that
boss that you double cross won't just "forget about it".
