About the game

What you do in a play session

Grab your badge and get ready for action, because Brook City is no place for amateurs! Imagine a setting straight out of a classic Hollywood action flick, where a ruthless criminal organization known as 'The Syndicate' has taken over the streets. We've got it all: corrupt politicians, dirty cops, and relentless killers trying to turn the city into total chaos. Your job? Clean up this mess before it's too late. In Brook City, you and your partners step into the shoes of heroic cops—inspired by those iconic movie stars—to take on crime in a breathtaking cooperative experience.

The standout feature here is the MDS (Modular Deck System), which ensures that every session feels fresh. You won't just be wandering around; you'll be using your character's unique deck to chase criminals on foot or at high speeds in various vehicles, all while piecing together complex case clues. The game uses custom dice to bust crimes and face off against street dangers, providing that adrenaline-pumping uncertainty every good cop movie needs. It's a miniature-driven game that offers incredible visual immersion, dropping you right into the heart of the action. If you love cooperation, card-driven strategy, and that feeling of living through a crime thriller, Brook City is your next destination. Just a heads-up: keep a dictionary handy, as the game requires a strong command of English to fully grasp the intricacies of the cases!
