    Fun interactive game! Played with my family (4 players) and has become a new favorite! Looking forward to playing more games with the family. The trading part of the game is a blast, everyone works together while also serving their own best interest. Negotiations would often times have us laughing and just having an overall fun time. Great quality and easy to learn. Only thing that could improve this game is more coins, but in a pinch you can use real money. I’ll probably order more coins for this one, if it’s an add on to another one of their Kickstarters.

    Pro: nice components, easy to teach, nice design aesthetic. Con: I'm not a fan of the auctioning mechanism. Whoever wins the auction gets the delivery truck, and whoever gets the truck makes enough money to win it every time if they have even basic accounting skills. The rest are left fighting over the table scraps and getting further and further behind, not able to buy the booze they need to sell to their patrons to make more money to buy the booze to sell to their patrons so they can make some money...

In 1920’s Chicago, two things are certain: Prohibition has the whole population clamoring for a drink, and there’s only one man who can supply it. Al Capone. Secret bars all over town are making back-alley deals with Capone’s thugs to get the booze they need to satisfy their thirsty patrons and keep themselves in business.

Capone combines card drafting, auctions, anything-goes trading, and set collection. Each player is the proprietor of an underground speakeasy. Players bid on trucks of booze coming in over the course of the evening to get the hooch they need to satisfy their eager patrons. There are no turns and play is centered around anything-goes negotiation. Does someone have a bottle you need? Make them an offer. Can’t fill the order of one of your patrons? Maybe another bar can; work a deal with that bar owner that’s beneficial to both of you. Capone will be keeping tabs on the operation too, so make sure to keep him happy. The bar that has the most money at the end of the night wins!
