Run a club in 1920s New York and make it the most successful in the city.
In 1923, bootlegger Owney Madden acquired an establishment in Harlem, New York, and named it the "Cotton Club." His idea was to use it as a front to sell alcohol during Prohibition, but the place gained popularity and talented artists such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ethel Waters and Cab Calloway made it the Mecca of jazz.
To smuggle in alcohol, you'll need to seek out partners in crime and invest money to hire performers and improve your club.
The game is played over a maximum of six rounds during which players can use three counters to choose between different actions:
- make improvements
- ask for a loan
- get a tip
- partner with gangsters
- smuggle contraband
- hire artists
- attract celebrities
All this to accumulate more reputation than any other club in New York!
The player with the most reputation points at the end wins.
