KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE: NEW JOB FOR ALL BACKERS!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 16, 2021 at 12:05:28 AM

Supporting Scarface 1920 on Kickstarter has exclusive rewards and you have unlocked the first one: a new Job card only available for Kickstarter backers!


Scarface 1920 players will be able to carry out Jobs of all kinds, some specific and others permanent, that will affect the power of the gang, the strength they have in the neighborhoods or their political influence, among other things. All of these Jobs take place in the underworld, one of the hot spots on the Chicago map.

Well, the basic game of Scarface 1920 has 38 job cards, after this stretch goal, the backers will have a new job, number 39, just for them. With an exclusive illustration, of course. And what does that Job do?


Titled "Prison Escape", it allows the player to carry out an assault on the Chicago prison to free his thugs and get rid of enemies. Keep in mind that this job will get the attention of the Feds... but there is nothing that cannot be corrected with some influence.


Remember that the Scarface 1920 campaign is still underway and that there are still many surprises on the way… Let’s go get them!

STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED: NEW THUGS FOR CAPONE!
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 11:04:14 PM

Thanks to your support, we have reached the first stretch goal! As you know, in Scarface 1920 there are four gangs fighting for control of the city of Chicago, and each of these gangs has 12 spectacular thug miniatures, designed by Bigchild Creatives.


Well, with the first stretch goal you have unlocked a second model for The Chicago Outfit, the gang led by Al Capone himself. In other words, now Scarface’s men on the streets are two different models of miniatures (6 of each model).

The thugs are the real stars on the board of Scarface 1920. They are the true muscle of each gang, the ones in charge of carrying out the orders of the boss in the streets of Chicago, in the underworld or among authorities, or to assault enemy neighborhoods. They are an essential part of the game.


Follow the Scarface 1920 campaign closely to find out what stretch goals await along the way. Believe me: you won't regret it. By the way, doesn't this man remind you a bit of a certain Luca Changretta? And no, he is not the only easter egg that you are going to discover from now on...

STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED: BROTHELS IN ARMS
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 11:04:10 PM

Ding, ding, ding! Do you know what that noise is? Exactly: you have unlocked a new stretch goal! Thanks to your support, we continue to improve the base game of Scarface 1920, in this case with a new Associate card.


The Associates are the criminal allies that players can hire in the underworld to increase the strength of their gang. Each of these Associates is specialized in a type of crime and their power is determined by the number of stars printed on their card. There are six Crime Types: bootlegging, corruption, gambling, theft, vice, and violence.

Well, the card you unlocked is called "Trafficker", it has three stars and is of the Vice type. When it comes into play, in addition to giving you one point of muscle and three points of influence to carry out your actions -which isn't bad at all- it also gives you a handful of dollars for the guns you have in your brothels.


Also, if you combine it in your plan with another Associate of Vice type, you can pick up the last card that you left in the discard pile. Spoiler: don't let the Trafficker's join another gang, if you see him. Spoiler (2): There are other Associate cards in the shape of stretch goals, are we going to find them?

STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED: HERE COMES A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD!
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 11:04:08 PM

The Chicago of Scarface 1920 is a beautiful city, but it is even more beautiful now that you have just unlocked a new neighborhood. Congratulations!


The base game of Scarface 1920 has three different neighborhood designs, but thanks to everyone's efforts, a fourth type has been unlocked. Having a new neighborhood is not a simple aesthetic issue, although we cannot hide that we are very excited to see what our illustrator Antonio Stappaerts is up to...

Having a new neighborhood also means more variety in Scarface games. Neighborhoods are used to store alcohol and guns, as well as to carry out the sales of these goods according to the formulas of each neighborhood, which are the indicators that appear on the tile itself. Well, a fourth neighborhood, with its own sales formula, implies that players will be able to establish new strategies to boost their sales and control.


Remember that neighborhoods are essential to accumulate goods and to obtain money through sales, so try to have them under control so that enemy gangs do not overtake you. So, should we go for the next stretch goal?

STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED: TODAY IS PARTY NIGHT
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 11:02:55 PM

We deliver on our promise: we told you that there would be more Associate cards on the way and here is the next one. Congratulations, look at what is already yours!


Named the Nightclub Owner, this Associate is one of the most powerful women in Scarface 1920… with Stephanie St. Clair’s permission. The Nightclub Owner belongs to the bootlegging Crime Type, which means that her everyday life is surrounded by alcohol and that her effect on the games of Scarface 1920 is closely related to the trafficking of the most popular good during the Prohibition.

When it comes into play, the Nightclub Owner allows the player to move thugs of her choice to or from a Nightclub. In other words, it is a great card to protect your business or to start an assault on those of your rival gangs.


And what does the night combine with? Indeed, with the Vice. Therefore, if you play together with such an Associate type, the Nightclub Owner will give you a new Dealer card with whom you can improve your supplies of alcohol and weapons. The party never stops!
