Narcos: Plunge into the Heart of a Ruthless War for Colombia

“Plata o Plomo.” Escobar’s famous ultimatum echoes once again. Inspired by the critically acclaimed Netflix series, Narcos returns to our gaming tables in a brand-new strategic adaptation slated for 2027. Designed by the trio Aiollus, Siber, and SPAGY, and published by Smartup, this title promises a brutal and immersive dive into the drug war in Colombia.

Tailored for a mature audience (Ages 18+), the game features intense clashes lasting anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes, where cunning, violence, and secrecy will be your best weapons to seize control of the country.

The Clash of Factions

In Narcos, asymmetry is total. Each player takes command of a major faction in this historic conflict, complete with its own strengths and iconic leaders:

• The Medellín Cartel, led by El Patrón.

• The Cali Cartel, led by El Ajedrecista.

• The DEA, embodied by agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña.

• The RoC (Republic of Colombia), under the command of Horacio Carrillo.

Secret Warfare and Simultaneous Orders

The gameplay thrives on constant tension, blending hand management with hidden programming. Every round, the struggle for power unfolds across several key phases:

1. Preparation: Draw cards to build a tactical hand.

2. War Economy: Play cards to acquire vital resources and Order chips.

3. Shadow Planning: Secretly assign orders face-down to hide your intentions from your opponents.

4. The Reveal: Reveal orders simultaneously, exposing everyone’s true plans in broad daylight.

5. The Clash: Resolve movement, drug production, and intense conflicts across the map.

Every action triggers a reaction: each shipment seized by the police invites retaliation in blood, and every imprisoned sicario brings the cartel’s wrath down upon Colombia’s citizens.

In Summary

Playable from 1 to 4 players, Narcos shapes up to be a highly tense, modern confrontation game. Between temporary alliances, betrayals, and military strikes, will you successfully dismantle the cartels, or will you build an untouchable criminal empire at the very top of the state? The choice is yours.
