This is a game about that illicit stimulant and white pillar of the global black market, cocaine. Players take the roles of addicts in a treatment facility, users sunk to degrading depths, gangs competing for sales, narcotics police facing corruption and criminality, and foreign visitors fumblingly trying to make things right in Colombia. As the drug’s route is traced backwards from addiction to production, players use improv games to establish situations that they then resolve with cards, bluffs, and cash.

I wrote it for game chef 2007. It was fun to playtest a draft during the contest.
