Wise Guys to Arrive from Gale Force Nine in Early 2022

Wise Guys (Gale Force Nine)Coming early next year, from Gale Force Nine, is the gangster game Wise Guys. In the game, players will take the roles of historical Chicago bootleggers looking to control rum running in 1920s Chicago. I don’t have any solid info about player count, play time, or MSRP, but I can tell you the game is slated to arrive in February 2022.

About the game:

Wise Guys is a quick to learn, cut throat, area control boardgame where you play as one of four rival gangs seeking to strike it rich as “Rum Runners” on the rough streets of Chicago at the height of the roaring 20’s.

Each turn players wheel, deal, talk and fight to control locations where they buy and sell alcohol, help politicians get elected and get help in return or double-cross rival gangs.  Negotiate, threaten and ally with rival gangs when it serves your needs, but be wary of the inevitable knife in the back…

Players roll to choose their gang, then set themselves up with a respectable front of neighbourhood business men and their associates, whilst keeping their resources, money, guns & booze hidden from their rivals.

Taking control of real-life gangsters, such as Al ‘Scarface’ Capone, Dean O’Banion, ‘Polack Joe’ Saltis and Ralph Sheldon, players issue orders for their Made Men & Associates to drive to existing or newly revealed locations, exploiting profitable opportunities as they arise.

Everything you need to turn Chicago upside down is included in the box.
