City Of Gangsters

Eliminate competition and rule the city. On the black market, social currency matters as much as the greenback. As your outfit grows, convince locals that your goods and theirs will be looked after. 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. Soon you’ll be supplying entire neighborhoods, and opening your own swinging speakeasies. Your outfit’s ambitions are only limited by the number of people working for you. Behind many of the city’s facades, people are building makeshift distilleries, secret loading docks, nighttime speakeasies. But most importantly, keep the money flowing. But think beyond making a quick buck or two. Start your own stills, and find raw materials to supply them. Manage production chains and resource distribution. Keep them paid, armed, and organized, and who knows how far and how fast you’ll rise. You will need plenty of hands to open new fronts, do delivery runs, and protect your product from envious rivals. Work your way into this network, and the world will be yours. Get started in the booze biz by hocking some homemade hooch. Territory under your control will provide a safety net, an income base, and a wealth of opportunities for further growth and expansion. But proceed carefully, because everyone is always observing what you’re doing, and family members stick up for each other. Grow a powerful crew and keep your rivals under your thumb. But a new era is dawning: a gilded age for smugglers, black markets, illegal manufacture, and organized crime. You’re a new arrival in the city at the dawn of Prohibition, with ambitions of striking it big. In this new management tycoon game you'll start a criminal operation from nothing, and grow it into a well-oiled money machine! Learn new techniques to make expensive drinks, or smuggle imported booze to fuel your growing operation. 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. You gotta be thinking ahead. The year is 1920, the start of Prohibition in the USA. You gotta be thinking bigger. Whether you send your people to harass someone, or to help them, you can be sure they’ll remember it down the line. This is where you come in. And doing business fair and square, well, everybody knows that’s not where the real money is. Much bigger. Build speakeasies and illegal distilleries. Smuggle goods from out of town and bribe the police to look the other way. You’ve grabbed the opportunity by the horns, and the city is yours for the taking. So work your connections to find profitable new friends, and get people who owe you favors to put in a good word. With cops and feds sniffing around, trust is everything and personal introductions are worth their weight in gold.
