My good fellas, we have gathered you here today to share great news and possible plans. As you know, our family is renowned and respected throughout the neighbourhood, but I ask myself this: is it enough? What if we made this beautiful city our home? For this to happen, we need to be able to take the reins from a true position of power: the mayor's office. We start by making ourselves known in every corner of the city, we must ensure that our name is not only respected but feared, as it should be! Fictions is a cooperative game for 1 to 4 players based on the classic gangster novels of the 1920s and 1930s, also known as "pulp". During this adventure, you will play the role of a mafia boss whose objective is to gain power and take control of the city and ultimately win the mayoral elections in the last Scenario. To do so, you will have to complete two previous Scenarios in order to achieve enough prestige so that the most feared gangsters in the city join the ranks of your clan and help you carry out your ambitious plan. —description from the publisher
