Precis Intermedia brings back this classic boardgame of gangsters (originally published by Yaquinto Publications).

Danger lurks around every corner in this boardgame for 3 to 6 players. You can trust no one as you struggle for money and power in this fast-paced game for control of the city. Your every move can welcome ill-gotten gains or invite disaster. You could be a gangland kingpin or the hard-nosed police commissioner, but either way, you have to fight to stay alive...

Players seek victory by accumulating the most wealth. Each Crime Boss receives money from his speakeasy and attempts to pull big jobs, hijack other players' loot, and send out hit men to even up old scores. The rotating job of Police Commissioner means having to stop crime as thrilling high-speed chases find Crime Bosses using second cars to run through police road blocks and "choppers" to knock police cars out of the chase. The Police Commissioner may even turn crooked and take bribes or make deals with the Crime Bosses. It is all part of the fun and excitement that allows you to relive that famous part of history known as the Roaring 20s!

This remastered PDF download includes the following files to print and play:

  • B&W rulebook explaining how to play the game.
  • The Game Board in three formats: full-size 25x12", split version for Letter-sized printing, and split version for A4 printing; each in Color and B&W.
  • 20 Hideout Cards (for both 1 and 2-sided printing, each in Color and B&W).
  • 70 Event Cards (for both 1 and 2-sided printing, each in Color and B&W).
  • Crime Boss, Police, and Chase Turn Counters (in Color and B&W).
  • Game Money in five denominations (in Color and B&W).

For Ages 12+. Requires one 6-sixed die.

Featured in OMNI magazine's Top 10 Games from 1981... "We found this to be easily learnable and enjoyed by people who aren't game nuts. Most games we checked had long, involved rule books and required some wargaming experience."

Featured in GAMES magazine's Favorite 100 Games from 1981... "The Roaring 20s recreates the era of running boards, low-brimmed hats, and tommy-guns in this car chase game. Players take turns as mobsters or corrupt policemen, and try to make crime pay. Easily learned, but strategically subtle, this game is best with four or more playing."

I'm looking at options, but this economy makes it rough right now. I figured that at least people could get the PDF until I get the print version squared away.

Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
