About this game

Corrupt your way to power in 19th-century New York City by exploiting immigrant communities and forming temporary alliances that you will inevitably betray. Tammany Hall is a pure political area-control game where players place political influence in neighborhoods, compete for immigrant support, and run for mayor in brutal elections. The mayor appoints positions that grant asymmetric powers, creating kingmaker dynamics and shifting alliances. A game that captures the ugliness of machine politics perfectly.
