In this rogue-like game, you embark on your journey as a captain during the tumultuous American Prohibition. Overcome challenges like inclement weather, relentless Coast Guard pursuit, shrewd Mafia dealings, and your own financial pitfalls, all while ensuring your path to wealth remains unhindered.
Supply and Demand: Turn Smuggling into a Profitable Endeavour
The population is thirsty, and you’re the captain they need. Buy cheap alcohol from underground brewers and upsell it to thirsty Americans at lucrative premiums. Each city and town will have its own demands, so navigate your strategy carefully to maximise your profits.
Customise your Ship, Choose your own Unique Crew, and Develop your own Strategy
Become a master of bootlegging by tailoring your smuggling operations to your liking. Choose and upgrade ships, recruit skilled crew members, and develop a truly unique strategy to outwit both the Coast Guard and the Mafia. Your decisions shape your success as you navigate the hazardous waters of Prohibition-era America with a strategic edge.
Play as 1 of the 6 Unique Captains and explore over 50 different maps
Choose your captain wisely! 6 captains are ready to set sail, each with their own pros and cons which could make or break your bootlegging strategy.
