Brook City Brings 80’s Buddy Cop Action Movies to the Tabletop

You’ve got 8 days to left to back Brook City! I know the Sadler brothers, Brady and Adam who previously worked at Fantasy Flight Games. Now they develop games with a ton of flavor and great mechanics. After a successful Kickstarter for Street Masters, a game inspired by Street Fighter, Streets of Rage and Double Dragon, they’re back with Blacklist Games for a different genre: 80’s cop action movies.

They’ve already hit their goal and are now into stretch goals which add all kinds of extra tropes of action films to the game.

What is Brook City, exactly? Here’s from their Kickstarter:

Brook City is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players, designed by Adam and Brady Sadler. The game features highly detailed miniatures and the Modular Deck System (MDS) introduced in Street Masters. In the game, players take on the role of heroic cops inspired by classic action movies and are tasked with protecting the city from the recent rise in criminal activity. Each game is dictated by the chosen criminal deck and case deck. These decks are modular and the different combinations of decks create unique experiences each game.

The game is played on a beautifully illustrated board of the city, where the cops must run or drive to various locations and bust up crimes. While cops start the game with a standard issue B.C.P.D. Cruiser, they can also commandeer many other types of vehicles on the streets of Brook City.

Like I said, only a few days left to back it, so now’s the time to get in on it!
