In Cartel, you play bold narcos, naïve spouses, and dirty cops tied to the Sinaloa drug cartel, trying to survive in a dangerous game of drugs, money, and power. Navigate complex and dangerous relationships, make desperate plays for money and power, and discover how far you are willing to go to hold on to what is yours. Buena suerte, cabrón.
Cartel is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse system used in Apocalypse World, Urban Shadows, Bluebeard’s Bride, and more. It’s a simple system: when your character takes an action that fits a move, the move tells you what happens in the story or you roll two six-sided dice to find out. Each move is a tense beat of a narrative, an opportunity for the drama of Cartel to build to a bloody climax that inevitably catches up with your characters.
Cartel creates adult fiction in the vein of Breaking Bad, The Wire, and El Mariachi, making it fun for lovers of crime fiction and Mexican melodramas alike. With the Powered by the Apocalypse system at its heart, Cartel has the mechanical strength and narrative flexibility to create stories that are alternately tragic and darkly humorous, set against the backdrop of an eternal drug war.
