About the Game

LA Lawless is a simple board-wargame depicting the Los Angeles Riots of April 1992. The units represents groups of varying sizes (up to several thousand people) and each turn equals a half a day. Published by Decision Games in Moves magazine issue #75.

The purpose of the game is to give players a chance to use different game strategies to simulate the confrontation between police and rioters. There are two players in the game: Authority (representing the city government, law enforcement agencies, and the general forces of law and order); and the Rioters (representing the people conducting the disturbances.)
