## Description

"A Game of Money, Guns, and Booze set in Prohibition Era Chicago. Flappers dance the Charleston at fabulous parties fueled by the booze your gang distributes. Schmooze with the politicians as you fund their election campaigns and let the voters know which way to vote, if they know what’s good for them. With enough clout at City Hall, there’s nothing to fear from the law — you can sell booze on the streets and literally get away with murder. In Wise Guys, players control rival gangs, competing to be the most successful ‘alky runners’ in Chicago during the Prohibition."

Review: Great Game With a Great Theme - I am a huge fan of this time period and anything themed around the mob. With that being said, this game was an obvious addition to my game library. The artwork is beautiful, the mechanics are well done and it is a game that you can enjoy whether you are a hardcore gamer or just a casual fan. This is the perfect game for anyone who enjoys games and gangsters.
Review: Fun, thematic game. - This is a fun and immersive game with great artwork and component quality.
