Scarface 1920
Game Description
"You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun." – Al Capone
Immerse yourself in 1920s Chicago, an era of roaring splendor and dark intrigue. Prohibition has turned the alcohol trade into a golden opportunity for criminal gangs vying for control of the city. In this dangerous melting pot of blood, influence, power, and money, only the most cunning and ruthless will emerge. Scarface 1920 throws you into the heart of this clandestine war, where the law is a suggestion and loyalty is a luxury few can afford.
In Scarface 1920, you will take the reins of a gangster crew with the ambitious goal of dominating Chicago during the Prohibition era (1920-1933). To build and maintain your criminal empire, you will need to expand your rackets, manage alcohol smuggling operations, bribe city officials, and ensure law enforcement turns a blind eye. Every move is crucial for your success in territory control and for asserting your supremacy over the underworld.
The game masterfully blends deck-building and worker placement mechanics, offering you a deep and engaging strategic experience. Recruit new associates, strike advantageous deals, fill the streets of Chicago with your thugs, and upgrade your headquarters, all while carrying out dirty jobs. Each gang is led by a boss with unique abilities, allowing you to explore different paths to victory in each game. But beware: you are not the only one looking to expand their empire. You will have to face rival gangs and, most importantly, watch your back from Eliot Ness and his formidable federal agents.
