Organiser: Reading Megagames
Designer: John Keyworth

Take the role of a ruthless gangster or crooked cop in the fictional city of "New Reading" and join us for a day of pulpy fun.

New Reading is a major industrial city in the north east of the USA well situated on a fork in the Kennet river. Two years ago the ‘27 Accord was agreed upon by the rival gangs of New Reading after a period of intense gang warfare. This accord was signed in the Club 1927 speakeasy which has been considered neutral territory ever since.

Not everyone was happy with the Accord, and cracks are starting to show. As long as no one rocks the boat maybe it will hold together…

"Club 1927" is a megagame for up to 50 players that follows the fates of the gangsters, criminals and cops of New Reading during the final year of the golden age of prohibition.​

Players will be running speakeasies and collecting protection money, robbing banks and smuggling contraband, starting street brawls and performing drive bys. Meanwhile the cops will be collecting evidence, raiding buildings and maybe taking the occasional bribe.

Everything's falling apart, but before it does... are you creating a legacy, keeping the peace or just trying to get ahead? The roaring twenties are coming to a close and not everyone is going to come out of them smelling of roses.
