Gangbusters (1st Edition)
A role-playing game set during the crime-ridden 1920s and 1930s, where players take the roles of police detectives, F.B.I. agents, or gangsters. Characters investigate crimes, confront danger, and make decisions in a struggle between law enforcement and organized crime. Fast-moving encounters and gunfights determine whether criminals are arrested or escape, and whether characters become heroes or are killed. The boxed set includes a rule book, a double-sided full-color map of downtown Lakefront City with detailed building interiors, cardboard playing pieces, an introductory adventure, and two dice.
