About the game
In Narcos: The Board Game, you dive into the dangerous world of Colombian drug trafficking, inspired by the TV series. One player takes on the role of El Patrón, building a drug empire while hiding from the hunters. The other players control factions like the DEA, Colombian police, the Cali Cartel, and a guerrilla group, all united to find and capture El Patrón. The game blends hidden movement, deduction, and team strategy, creating a tense and twist-filled experience. If El Patrón completes their secret objectives without being caught, they win. But if the hunters uncover their hideout, victory is theirs. Get ready for bluffs, betrayals, and plenty of adrenaline!
