About the game

What you do in a play session

Omerta takes you to Chicago in 1932, where you lead a gang of alcohol smugglers. With an informant in the police warning of an imminent raid by the Untouchables, your goal is to quickly get rid of your illegal stock and shout "Omerta" before it's too late. But beware: your rivals can either help or hinder your plan, and you need to make sure you don't accumulate too many points. With mechanics like hand management, memory, and direct interactions, Omerta is a fast-paced and tense game, perfect for groups that enjoy a good dose of strategy and deceit.
