Harking back to the days of Prohibition, BOOTLEG recreates the thrill of running loads of illegal whiskey from city to city wile avoiding the county Sheriffs and the State Trooper.

Players start as bootleggers and must pick up and deliver loads while avoiding speeding tickets or being busted.

There are just enough restrictions on movement to generate tension when your turn comes. Initially the Sheriffs - one for each county - and the State Trooper are moved automatically after each players turn. But once a player has delivered whatever loads he chooses or, all the loads available (hidden in the bushes) are in transit, he can become a Sheriff or State Trooper just by passing one on the highway. Then he can attempt to bust other players.

Components are of medium quality. 6 Vans, County Sheriffs, 1 State Trooper, 50 plastic chips representing various loads and a stack of money. The rules are very short, perhaps 300 words. The game comes with an additional rules update sheet. The map is plain 4-color and on sturdy paper.
