About the Game

In Cartel, you are a head of one of the biggest drug cartels that want to enrich themselves in the quickest and easiest possible way, that why you will plot against other cartels and try to steal their money or simply destroy it while trying to laundry your own cash. Sometimes you will invest your money in some buildings that will generate you some goods or produce you clean money. Player who will get the most clean cash at the end of the game will be named the greatest drug lord in the world.

Cartel is a small game for 2-4 players with multi use cards in which you will be fighting other players while building your own drug empire. During the game players will be facing different phases in which they will be bribing some contacts to enter restricted areas, using multi use action cards in few possible ways like: using it for its action, taking them as the goods or connecting them to own empire as buildings that will help us during the game.

There are few interesting mechanics in the game like area control; card management; small engine-building that works very well and with the smart design of multi use cards each and every game is an unique experience.

So do you have what it takes to take the whole drug cartel and show everyone who is the fierce force to be reckoned with?
