Bootleggers

This is a fairly simple description of the game. It gives you a place to start from, but as any player will tell you, the game is much more than the sum of its parts.

The game is a multi player, online game. It uses a text based system and browser interface to allow players to interact with each other and the game. This gives a basic description of the type of game.

The game is set in 1930’s prohibition America. You assume the role of a small time gangster, starting at first by simply picking pockets and running booze between the different states. As you play the game more, you will gain rank and move on, you will be able to steal cars and participate in Organized crimes. Eventually you will reach sufficient standing in the game to allow you to create a crew, to become a big player in the game. After longer still you may reach the dizzy highs of Legendary Don, in control of a vast crime network. Or if you mess with the wrong people, you may soon find yourself talking to the Grim Reaper.



While crimes are a major element in the game, there are also casinos and other games where you can pit yourself against either against the game itself or other players for vast sums of money. You can also kill people, for money, power, for the chance of glory or simply because they got in your way.



However, the game is left open, there is no set goals or victory conditions. Most people will play the game not for the game, but to interact with their friends. One thing you soon learn in Bootleggers is that the more friends you have, the easier the game can be and the more enjoyment can be gotten from it.
