Chicago, rok 1930, czasy Prohibicji. Spo?ecze?stwo buntuje si? przeciw zakazowi handlu alkoholem. Niemal ka?dy szuka swoich sposobów na skosztowanie jakiegokolwiek trunku. Powstaje mnóstwo domowych destylarni i technik przemytu. Czarny rynek kwitnie w najlepsze, a przedstawiciele pó??wiatka nawet nieszczególnie kryj? si? ze swoimi dzia?aniami. ?apówki staj? si? wszechobecne, a alkohol nie mniej dost?pny, ni? przed zakazem. Podczas rozgrywki w Kings of Chicago gracze wciel? si? w liderów gangów, rywalizuj?cych o kontrol? nad strategicznymi lokacjami w Chicago. B?d? przemyca? beczki z alkoholem do rozmaitych miejsc, stopniowo buduj?c swoje wp?ywy. Istotne b?dzie dostosowywanie si? do warunków panuj?cych w mie?cie i ruchów konkurencji. Zwyci??y ten, kto zarobi najwi?cej na tym procederze. Czy odwa?ycie si? wzi?? udzia? w tej nieczystej grze? -description from publisher
