Outmuscle or outmaneuver your rivals using an evolving rondel and a dice-based tug-of-war mechanic to control the VIPs of Gattory City.
Perfect for strategy fans, solo players, and those who enjoy fast-paced showdowns!

The mob bosses are setting their sights on getting a foothold in City Hall.

Puppets in High Places is a standalone sequel to my first game, With a Smile & a Gun, and is set in the same fantastical noir Prohibition era.

Given how tired I am after a 1-day convention, I don't understand how people do 5. I literally lost my voice 2 hours in.

[Amanda 🇨🇦 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜 BLM & ACAB (she/her) @subsurfaceamy]

I guess now I have to start working on it...
