Rival gangs battle to seize Prohibition-era Chicago through bootlegging, bribery, and brutal turf wars.

Gameplay

Players build a crime deck that powers worker placement to run rackets, recruit associates, and upgrade their HQ. Thugs spread across Chicago for area control while managing heat from Eliot Ness, balancing bribes and bootlegging with direct clashes for territory and end-game profits.
