Gangbusters is a roleplaying game published by TSR, Inc. in 1982. It’s set in the 1920s during American Prohibition and emulates gang crime. The game takes place in the fictional Lakefront City, which is analogous to Chicago. Players can take on roles as criminals, law enforcement professionals, or other characters (such as newspaper reporters) investigating or opposing criminals. The focus is on the struggle between law enforcement and organized crime, with political corruption as a recurring theme. Instead of merely rolling dice and moving pieces around a board, players adopt the personalities and goals of clever police detectives, legendary FBI agents, or vicious gangsters from the 1920s and 1930s, facing the problems and dangers of a life-and-death struggle against crime2. If you’re interested in the Roaring Twenties, speakeasies, and gritty detective work, Gangbusters offers an exciting and immersive experience! 🎲🔍🍸
