The 1920s were cool. I mean, REALLY cool.
Being a big history buff, the Roaring 20’s is the time I find to be the most fascinating. It was a different age - The unique styles, music, ground-breaking world events, and inventions… the ’20s had it all.
When I started brainstorming ideas for game themes, I knew I wanted to create something that would whisk the players back in time to those days of rum-running and turf war gangsters. I knew the look, and gameplay had to match the gritty nature of that time period. I also wanted to create a game that involved strategy, but didn’t take hours to learn to play…
BOOTLEG® was born.
Creating a set-collecting-based game wasn’t enough though – Adding inside games and dice play, helped to make the experience as unpredictable as bootlegging in the 1920’s itself. With so many ways to strategize against your opponents, each time you play is a unique experience.
So grab some friends and a few cases of booze – it’s time to play, Bootleggers!
I hope you have a roaring good time.
