In 1923 Cotton Club, you take charge of a Harlem nightclub during the turbulent Prohibition era. To keep your club thriving, you’ll need to connect with gangsters for alcohol smuggling, invest in improvements, hire talented artists, and attract the most influential celebrities of the time.

The game is played over six rounds. Each round, players place their three pawns on various action spaces to perform tasks such as upgrading their club, asking for loans, gathering tip-offs, associating with criminals, smuggling alcohol, hiring performers, and drawing celebrities to their venue. Earn reputation by running the most successful club in New York. The player with the highest reputation at the end wins.
