Tentworks Interactive Presents: Becoming Pablo
Overview
Welcome to a world where power, strategy, and cunning rule supreme. Becoming Pablo is a unique blend of turn-based grand strategy, tower defence, and tycoon elements, where you step into the shoes of a fledgling cartel leader. Set against the backdrop of the late 1970s to the early 1990s, this game offers a deep, complex experience filled with high-stakes decisions, ruthless ambition, and the constant struggle for control. Whether you're expanding your empire, defending your turf, or navigating the dangerous waters of cartel politics, every choice you make will determine your rise—or fall.
Gameplay
In Becoming Pablo, your journey begins with a single goal: to build and dominate your drug empire. Choose from three distinct regions—Colombia, North Korea, or Nigeria—and lead your cartel to global dominance. Inspired by the tactical depth of board games like Risk, the game combines territory control with resource management, logistics, and diplomacy.
You’ll need to establish your base of operations, manage production lines, and create efficient supply chains to meet the growing demands of your customers. But it’s not just about business; you’ll also need to defend your territories against rival cartels and government forces using tower defence mechanics. Expand your influence through strategic alliances, blackmail, and bribes—just don’t forget that every decision has consequences, and your enemies are always watching.
