Game Overview

About the Game

In the gaslit streets of 1920s New York City, Prohibition has sparked a lawless gold rush. Four deadly mobs battle to rule the city's illicit liquor trade through bootlegging, backroom deals, and cold-blooded combat. Players are rival kingpins vying for control of 25 districts across all five boroughs — brewing moonshine, running speakeasies, completing dangerous contracts, and muscling out the competition.

Moonshine Kingdom is a deeply thematic strategy board game blending area control, resource management, and asymmetric faction powers into a tense, replayable experience. Each Day in your criminal empire runs from the quiet hum of your stills at dawn, through the dangerous hustle of daylight operations, to the bloody reckoning that comes after dark.
