About the game
Welcome to Micro Moonshine, a thrilling board game that takes you back to the roaring 1920s, an era of prohibition, speakeasies, and clandestine operations. Players step into the shoes of ambitious moonshiners, navigating the dangerous world of illegal liquor production and distribution in the United States. Your objective is clear: build an empire of forbidden spirits by hiring a skilled crew, producing high-quality moonshine, and establishing lucrative relationships with speakeasies. Every decision matters, from recruiting the right crew members, managing your resources to laundering your hard-earned money at just the right time. Micro Moonshine is designed for 1-4 players, offering a dynamic and competitive experience that lasts approximately 60 minutes. Do you have what it takes to outsmart your opponents, produce the best liqueurs, and become the undisputed kingpin of the prohibition era? Prepare for a journey into the world of bootlegging, strategy, and high-stakes operations – where the pursuit of fortune is as intoxicating as the illegal spirits you produce. Get ready to experience the thrill of Micro Moonshine. —description from the publisher
