"A game of crime and punishment! A role-playing game covering syndicates, police, federal agencies, criminal activities, police technology, criminal skills, weapons of all sorts, police techniques, profitability of crimes, corruption of officials, terrorists, police special units, hostage situations, laws, forensic sciences, the F.B.I. and its laboratories, SWAT teams, and inter-gang conflicts. Set in twentieth century America, the player characters are lawmen or criminals. Combat is highly realistic and lethal. Gangster contains a 50 page rulebook, a 16 page patrol guidebook packed with background material, a cardstock character sheet, and a cardstock reference sheet. Relive the events of the era of prohibition. Mob versus mob and mobs versus the law enforcement agencies. React to a terrorist attack on an airport. Deal with hostage negotiations or with criminal expansion into the city for which you are responsible."
