Your outfit’s ambitions are only limited by the number of people working for you. You will need plenty of hands to open new fronts, do delivery runs, and protect your product from envious rivals. So work your connections to find profitable new friends, and get people who owe you favors to put in a good word. With cops and feds sniffing around, trust is everything and personal introductions are worth their weight in gold. On the black market, social currency matters as much as the greenback. Soon you’ll be supplying entire neighborhoods, and opening your own swinging speakeasies. Learn new techniques to make expensive drinks, or smuggle imported booze to fuel your growing operation. Start your own stills, and find raw materials to supply them. Get started in the booze biz by hocking some homemade hooch. Work your way into this network, and the world will be yours.īut think beyond making a quick buck or two. Behind many of the city’s facades, people are building makeshift distilleries, secret loading docks, nighttime speakeasies. You’re a new arrival in the city at the dawn of Prohibition, with ambitions of striking it big.
But a new era is dawning: a gilded age for smugglers, black markets, illegal manufacture, and organized crime. With congressional action, a huge segment of the national economy becomes illegal overnight: bars and saloons are ordered to close, distilleries and breweries go quiet, distributors shut down. The year is 1920, the start of Prohibition in the USA. But most importantly, keep the money flowing.
Grow a powerful crew and keep your rivals under your thumb. Smuggle goods from out of town and bribe the police to look the other way. Manage production chains and resource distribution. Build speakeasies and illegal distilleries. Start a crime syndicate from nothing, and grow it into a well-oiled money machine.
