Friendly Neighbourhood Gangster Man | City of Gangsters - Part 1 - Full Version (Gangster Manager)

- City of Gangsters returns as we venture back to prohibition-era Chicago to make our fortune selling booze, but this time we're playing the full release version of the game!
We resume our identify as Penge Cupboard, the polite, well-dressed, well-hatted English Gangster, who is not really into violence or being unpleasant but would rather keep things civil, formal and friendly, preferring tea over Tommy Guns any day.
We begin in 1920 and immediately set about selling our stock of alcohol for a lovely profit. Fortunately we do have quite the stock in reserve so the money comes in quite nicely but there is a little bit of a problem with getting our own alcohol produced, in that we're lacking certain resources, which is an issue in the long run.
We explore the little bit of Chicago we find ourselves in, discovering new businesses and making new acquaintances, turning in favours where it suits us and trying to expand our influence further so we can control more corners.
There's also some new skills to choose from, some levels ups to deal with and we have a nice chat with the Police...
NOTE: This is the full release version of the game.

----------------------------
Start a crime syndicate from nothing, and grow it into a well-oiled money machine. Build speakeasies and illegal distilleries. Manage production chains and resource distribution. Smuggle goods from out of town and bribe the police to look the other way. Grow a powerful crew and keep your rivals under your thumb. Eliminate competition and rule the city. But most importantly, keep the money flowing.
The year is 1920, the start of Prohibition in the USA. With congressional action, a huge segment of the national economy becomes illegal overnight: bars and saloons are ordered to close, distilleries and breweries go quiet, distributors shut down. But a new era is dawning: a gilded age for smugglers, black markets, illegal manufacture, and organized crime.
This is where you come in. You’re a new arrival in the city at the dawn of Prohibition, with ambitions of striking it big. Behind many of the city’s facades, people are building makeshift distilleries, secret loading docks, nighttime speakeasies. Work your way into this network, and the world will be yours.
But think beyond making a quick buck or two. You gotta be thinking ahead. You gotta be thinking bigger. Much bigger.
Get started in the booze biz by hocking some homemade hooch. Start your own stills, and find raw materials to supply them. Learn new techniques to make expensive drinks, or smuggle imported booze to fuel your growing operation. Soon you’ll be supplying entire neighborhoods, and opening your own swinging speakeasies.
On the black market, social currency matters as much as the greenback. With cops and feds sniffing around, trust is everything and personal introductions are worth their weight in gold. So work your connections to find profitable new friends, and get people who owe you favors to put in a good word.
You will need plenty of hands to open new fronts, do delivery runs, and protect your product from envious rivals. Your outfit’s ambitions are only limited by the number of people working for you. Keep them paid, armed, and organized, and who knows how far and how fast you’ll rise.
But proceed carefully, because everyone is always observing what you’re doing, and family members stick up for each other. Whether you send your people to harass someone, or to help them, you can be sure they’ll remember it down the line.
As your outfit grows, convince locals that your goods and theirs will be looked after. Territory under your control will provide a safety net, an income base, and a wealth of opportunities for further growth and expansion.
You’ve grabbed the opportunity by the horns, and the city is yours for the taking. But you only have a few years to make your mark on history, to build the largest, most profitable crime syndicate, take over your competition, and rule the entire city. Because after 1933, it will be all over, alcohol will be legal again. And doing business fair and square, well, everybody knows that’s not where the real money is.

Oh good! I'm so happy to see you playing this again. I watched Colonel Faillure playing it yesterday and immediately thought of you and hoped you'd be playing it too. I really enjoy watching the differences in game play. You're always so much more joy-filled than most other players... which gives me joy as well.
I like to think that this is quite an upbeat channel, I try to keep things a bit chirpier and optimistic. Ok, yes, sometimes I'm terrible at things but hopefully I'm happy whilst being terrible!
@@TheGeekCupboard Indubitably!
@@TheGeekCupboard And you're succeeding marvellously at that. Hearing you always gives me a nice nostalgic feeling of watching Blue Peter and other CBBC programs back in the late '80s early '90s. You don't have a lazy golden retriever, do you?
I love you Geek Cupboard and Colonel Failure, yay to the English, keep coming with the multi-episode gameplays!!!
Chicago is the home of Capone and other gangsters. But Capone is probably the best known.
Oh man! I've been waiting for the full version so long! I'm going to make myslef a big cup of tea for this episode.
Game just came out on epic games for free, has been a real blast! Your playthrough is useful for navigating some of these tricky mechanics
One of my favorite series has returned (although all your videos are good)! Keep up the great work.
I like to think that Penge Cupboard has a dog called Clockhouse.
The Big Corn-Malt Confusion. xD
Indeed, best address that next time... We have certainly been given a bad deal with our starting resources though!
@@TheGeekCupboard Good luck on that malt hunt! :)
It's infuriating to be honest. Buying the wrong resource, ignoring places because "I don't think they would have anything I'd want"
I've been waiting for the full version so long. Hopefully you'll do a full play threw.
1:42 defiantly Chicago
British gangsters...polite, lovely, sipping tea, wearing hats. Nothing to fear, there. Two words: The Krays ;)
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Enjoying this one more than the previous series you did for some reason. Might be a good idea role play wise to just boosting rep wih everyone so you're liked across the city.
The Straw-Boater Bloater hits Chicago.
Hey man! Thank you! \o/
really enjoyed this video, hope you make more on this game. glad i found your channel. subscribed.
i like how he tries to offer a bribe to the officer and he has no money on him
nvm he had money when he completed the transaction he side went blank and that was why i thought he had no money on him
To be fair, attempting to bribe someone with no money would be the sort of thing I'd do.
English gangsters are polite and welcoming? LMAO Tell that to Australia!
3:40 I'd say, a proper bow-tie goes best with a fez, if anything at all. Sad such a portrait is likely not available.
Indeed, a few was sadly not an option!
Looking forward to this one again. Hopefully you'll do a full play threw.
Yaaaaaaaaas lad, finally!!!!!
Chicago is definately more Gansta than Detroit or Pittsburgh...
Back in those days.
Sorry Penge I keep having to rewatch this video due constant real life interruptions and I always forget to hit pause. I don’t want to miss a second of it due to then later I’ll be lost ( one of my many quirks is that I have to watch and listen to everything in order). So if your wondering what’s up with the count, now you know why. Loving what I have seen so far :)
Penge no one goes to Chicago not then and definitely not now.
You should ask the lady you first sold some beer to be part if your gang since she is pretty good freinds with you
Well she does sort of join us, she becomes a front for us, so that's good!
@@TheGeekCupboard oh I dident get to that point of the video yet sorry that was a bit stupid of me
You are buying corn syrup not malt syrup
City of Gangstas!
Is it just me or does this guy sound like Mr Maker
is there some kind of economy or are you the only person in the city buying and selling stuff? seems way too easy for now?
i wonder if geek can get his protections money (Tax Revenue)
Looks good but the UI could use some work. It doesn't make you feel like you're in 1920's. It's way too contemporary.
1920? But i want the 30s and ford v8 ffs
chicago=Al Capone any famous mobsters? i dont know, maybe.
dunno where i stand on this game.. part of me says get it, the other can see just how much of a headache it would be. hmm
What was your choise? Well, that doesn't matter now. It's free in egs! And from my 20 hours of play I really like it a lot
@@fajnu20 noticed it popped up however still uncertain if i;ll ever play it. nice to see (and suspect devs too) it's still getting love tho.
You should bring your goods with you instead of going back and forth and wasting movement points, especially since you are close with cops and they wont raid you as often. Also sell good on a premium. Losing likeness wont bother you cause every sale you make gains likeness and favor. Action points, movement points, and turns are limited resources cause you have limited time to establish your business.
That all sounds terribly efficient, I'm not sure it suits me!
We haven't bribed the police yet so at the moment they could confiscate all of our stuff if we have it with us. When we've given the police a bit of money we might be able to drive round with a bit more confidence.
I played this for a while, but I found it very nerfed in many ways.
It's like the developers do not want you to progress fast in this game.
And too much randomness for my liking.
I wanted a strategy game, not a classic board game with some dice rolling deciding your faith.
Lol
Disappointing game. Expected so much better.
ㅏㅓ
Me first
First comment
You talk more, play less :|
talk less ffs
I'm not an expert on US cities but:
Chicago: prohibition gangsters
Detroit: epitome of America
Pittsburgh: is a city I guess
Chiraqqqq
