This is my idea for my Furnace game, thoughts and feedback welcome. Again it focuses on a tightly woven group with lots of loyalties and codes to play off and a single objective to focus them.

Furnace Game

Brothers in arms

A ‘Mob Justice’ game for up to 4 players

Your father and mother came to America looking for a new life with their sons and daughter. Looking for hope. At first they had a good life, establishing themselves in the Irish quarter of Chicago and setting up a small pub that attracted everyone from the local drunks to minor celebrities.

Then the mob moved in.

Destroying or ‘protecting’ every Irish owned business in Chicago, Don Perelli and his goons soon saw to it that the Irish knew their place. Your father was the only one to resist, the only one to fight back. After countless threats, numerous attacks and investigations by corrupt police and officials he stood his ground, giving nothing to those he saw as running what America could be.

The mob’s offer was always one he couldn’t refuse.

The phone wakes you all that dreadful morning. Your father is dead, found floating in the Great Lakes that he loved so much, a single bullet wound to the head. A professional hit. Your mother’s life has been destroyed, your father is dead and his business is about to be bought up by the bastards that put him in the river.

You and your siblings are all that stand between the mob and your father’s business. Your families pride, their honour, their very lives are at stake.

What you going to do about it?

Cheers
