About this game
Scarface 1920 puts you at the head of a Chicago crime family during Prohibition, and every mechanic exists to make you feel like you are building an empire out of bootleg liquor and bribed cops. You recruit associates into a growing deck, place workers to run rackets and bootlegging routes, and lean on your gang's distinctive skills to edge out rival families across the map. It is dense and unhurried, worker placement and deckbuilding fused into a single engine that rewards long-term plans over quick wins. Prohibition-era atmosphere, real weight in every decision, and a proper evening-length crime saga.
