Narcos

1–4 players · 120 min · 18+

At the heart of Colombia, a war is raging.

Deep in the uncharted jungles, a business massive enough to rival the world’s greatest corporations is thriving. Led by ruthless men who will stop at nothing to claim wealth and power, they produce over 15 tons of cocaine every day and generate more than $21 billion USD annually.

Now, their sights are set higher: domination of Colombia itself, climbing the political ladder to become untouchable. Standing in their way are the DEA and Colombia’s law-abiding forces. But in this fight, to catch the worst monsters the world has ever witnessed, you may have to become a monster yourself.

Violence begets violence, and every seized shipment invites retaliation in blood. Every sicario imprisoned means a policeman dead, and every extradition brings the cartel’s wrath down upon Colombia’s citizens.

In Narcos: The Board Game, you step into the violent and volatile world depicted in the award-winning Netflix series Narcos.

Each player takes control of a powerful faction:

 The Medellín Cartel, led by El Patrón
 The Cali Cartel, led by El Ajedrecista
 The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), led by Steve Murphy - and Javier Peña
 The RoC (Republic of Colombia), led by Horacio Carrillo

And each round, players will:

 Draw cards and build their hand
 Play cards to acquire Order chips and vital resources
 Play cards to trigger powerful actions and strategic effects
 Secretly assign orders using face-down Order chips, planning in silence
 Reveal orders simultaneously, exposing hidden intentions
 Resolve movement, drug production, and intense conflicts across the map
 Score points across multiple categories as the struggle for control escalates

As Escobar famously proclaimed: “Silver or Lead.”

Now the choice is yours.
