Gangsters (Jewel Case)

• If you secretly wish to extort your neighbors, gun down your enemies, cheat on your taxes, and build a massive criminal empire--but want to avoid the inconvenience of a long prison sentence--then Gangsters might be the game for you.
• angters transports you to a 1920s Chicago-style city for a gangland free-for-all. You start out as a small-time hood with big-time plans, and the only obstacles in your path to power are the cops, the G-men, and all the other gangsters that want you dead.
• So you go about recruiting hoods and extorting everything within your territory, all the while building and managing profitable public services such as booze distribution and well-lit brothels. It's a good gig until you're dead or in jail. So you want to avoid those unpleasantries by paying off cops and judges, while at the same time killing anyone who would do the same to you.
• Game play is a cross between an empire builder and a business simulation. Your goal is to take over the city and make a lot of dough. You've got to finance your expansion with your businesses (illegal as well as legit) and hold your territory with muscle. Since not too many venture capitalists are keen on giving seed money to thugs, enterprising hoodlums have to turn to their neighbors for cash. Luckily, your neighbors have plenty of money, and they're happy to fork it over if doing so means they can continue using their fingers.
