About the game
This add-on for the 1930s pulp adventure theme of the Cursed Tombs of Khamuntet is an Enemy Theme Pack, a type of product for Shadows of Brimstone that is a great way to add a bunch of exciting new Enemies, cards, and Missions that are all themed for a specific World or faction in the game. As fans of our Fortune and Glory board game know all too well, the Chicago Mob are a big part of the 1930s genre as villains, spreading their ruthless criminal influence around the globe, expanding their turf, and hunting for priceless treasures and relics to line their pockets with gold. From smokey nightclubs and shady warehouses down on the docks to the lost temples and tombs where riches wait to be plundered, the Chicago Mob sends their enforcers and goons to get the job done. The Gangsters of Chicago Enemy Theme Pack comes with a host of new Pulp Adventure Enemies to challenge your Heroes, as well as new Relic-hunting themed Missions for the Cursed Tombs, and over 40 new Game cards with assorted counters. You get 1 Capo Mob Boss, 6 Wiseguys, 1 Nightclub Singer - Femme Fatale, and 3 large Mob Goons as extra muscle to crush the Heroes.
