Back the game now!

A morally questionable, competitive mashup of town-building, 4x, and just a tad of dice combat for 2-4 players.

The Game

Set in an alternative, post-apocalyptic 1920’s, players in “Moonshiners” compete to explore and re-build the deserted “Shanty Town” while fighting off hordes of disgruntled Drunkards that roam the town looking for trouble.
Did I say fight? I meant drink them under the table. Arm yourself with a crate of the strongest booze and start drinking, because any unchallenged enemy will hunt you down and mess with your precious achievements.

Heroes

Benny Whitaker

He used to work for the mob. Cooking books and hiding illegal stuff under a bunch of legal papers was his business. And he was good at it, but when the “end of days” hit the fan, he decided to cook something else.

“Cooking books or cooking ‘shine is pretty much the same to me. Booze is much better than lemonade when it’s about making people forget their troubles. And people these days are far from happy, so my moonshine comes to the rescue.”

Marla Jonnes

She used to be a happy, sweetheart housewife, cooking and tending to her garden of dandelions. When the world turned crazy, Marla learned pretty quick to shift gears from a loving housewife to a mean, “shoot-first-ask-questions-later” kind of girl.

“My mother raised me to be a devoted wife, a good mother, and productive housewife. But when my beloved Billy saw fit to blacken my eyes one time too many, I thought I should point out that he’s making a mistake. And I pointed that knife in and out several times until he stopped yelling.”

Samuel Connery

A former agent in the “Pinkerton Detective Agency,” Sam was the kind of guy without too much patience for stupidity – a stellar gunslinger, a perfectionist, a moonshiner.

“As it turned out, the world went tits up over the night. I had my gun. And my learnings. Life as a Pinkerton agent taught me one thing: every now and then people will do stupid things, so you better be ready to sort things out.“

Alfred Wolffe

A renowned horse-race jockey in the “Old World,” it’s said that he won some great races and you can still see that pride on his face. Alfred is the kind of guy you don’t want to mess with.

“People around me were dropping like flies. And those that weren’t dead were on their last legs. Somehow, I survived, and those stupid enough to double-time me got waxed before they could say “Hallelujah”. That’s the way it is – I’m not in the business of changing the world.”

Uncle Harding

This crazy rascal Uncle Harding kept people guessing his whole life – nobody knew whether he was a-coming or a-going. Put a damn compound smack dab in the middle of Shanty Town and stayed there running things left and right. Wonder if he’s still there?
Placed in the middle of the board and protected from random Drunkards, Uncle Harding’s compound is literally and figuratively the center of Shanty Town and nothing happens without his approval.

“I guess this new world of ours did something to me. I used to love dandelions and making blueberry pie. Now I love shotguns and making moonshine. But I’m not complaining. I’m still alive and kickin’, and business is good.”

Drunkards

They can be either depressed, crazy or simply unhappy but they’re all drunk from dawn till dusk (and vice versa). “We call them Drunkards because that’s what they are.”

Drunkards

They can be either crazy, depressed, loony or simply unhappy but they’re all drunk morning to evening. We call them Drunkards, because nobody likes them.

Class I - The Looney Ones

These dudes are crazy. Might look happy, but they’re not. And you can see it in their eyes.

Class II - The Depressed Ones

These ones are utterly depressed. Disgruntled to the moon and back and with no idea what to do about it. Just stay out of their way and you’ll be fine.

Class III - The Mad Ones

These nasty a-holes are past boredom and depression. They’re angry and decided to take it out on the world. They’ll destroy anything just to feel important.
“And then he said: “Why did the accountant stare at his glass of orange juice for three hours?
Because on the box it said Concentrate.”
I don’t find that funny. Not at all… we accountants take our job very seriously.”

The World

“We found this deserted small town. Somebody called it “Shanty Town” and somehow the name stuck.”
Marla Jonnes, 13th September, 1922
Somewhere in the 1920’s, a botched lab experiment infected the corn crops everywhere. Moonshiners and bootleggers unknowingly spread the infected hooch all over the country and in a matter of days, the population of US dropped to record lows.

“Moonshiners of the Apocalypse” takes place in a small town, somewhere somewhere along the US-Canadian border. Deserted since the apocalypse, Uncle Harding is the town’s only permanent resident, but plenty of Drunkards wander through…

“I had to get out of there, so I did what I had to do. Raised some lean-to pubs to lure the people in and that did the trick for sure. Booze was pouring everywhere, they was guzzling that ‘shine like no tomorrow, and the clams kept piling up. So everybody was happy…”
