Description

Experience the glitz and glamour of the roaring '20s as a gang boss in Prohibition-era Chicago. Flappers dance the Charleston at fabulous parties fueled by the booze your gang distributes. Schmooze with the politicians as you fund their election campaigns and let the voters know which way to vote, if they know what's good for them. With enough clout at City Hall, there's nothing to fear from the law - you can sell booze on the streets and literally get away with murder.

• In Wise Guys, your made men and associates drive to key locations, exploiting profitable opportunities as they arise.

• Outfox your rivals by striking deals, bribing, and threatening to keep them on their toes.

• When words fail, send in your enforcers, hard men like "Machine-gun Jack," "Two Gun," and "Dynamite" Brooks.
