Deal: American Dream is a board game for 3 to 6 players. Each player masters a clan and competes for the dominion of drug trafficking in the Americas. Deal: American Dream is a strategic game where players recruit troops and clash over territories. Additionally, it incorporates an economic dimension; you can produce or buy dope, and sell it by striking deals with other players rather than confronting them. As every narco knows, spilling blood ain’t always good for business. Finally, Deal: American Dream also has a roleplaying aspect to it; each player has secret objectives that require the use of deception and bluff. Regardless of which avenue to power you take, in the end, there can only be one winner: the first one to earn 10 respect points takes the cake. Every game of Deal: American Dream is unique and brings its share of negotiation, alliance and, of course, backstabbing! All the components needed for a game of Deal Corner can be found in the Deal: American Dream's box. It was available separately in the Kickstarter.
