Card Game Once Upon a Time in Chicago

The Heart of Crime

USA, Chicago, the 1920s. Cigarette smoke, the rise of jazz, crime. All this and much more awaits you as you investigate mysterious crimes.

You are a journalist for a local newspaper, but what a journalist you are! Without your deductive mind, there would be no such high-profile journalistic investigations that have kept the public on edge.

An old friend is better than two new ones

One ordinary morning, upon waking up, you find a note from your old university professor asking for help. Puzzled, you quickly head to him to unravel this mystery.

This is where your adventures begin. You can hire up to 5 partners to go through exciting scenarios.

In the footsteps of legendary gangsters

The game literally brims with the aesthetics of the 1920s. A detailed map of Chicago, newspaper clippings, crumpled envelopes, and even address books styled in antiquity. Use all your intuition and logic, as well as your deductive skills, to untangle a series of criminal cases. Interrogating witnesses, chases, and shootouts are included!
