Life in Durango is tough when you’re a part of the Sinaloa Cartel. From the top down its a game that’s not to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, for some, there’s no other game in town. This will be more a “slice of life” theme, people going about their day… Cooking up meth, snuffing enemies of the Cartel, trying not to be the star of Los Zetas latest grisly revenge video. Life’s a bitch, hopefully you don’t die.
Cartel is a TTRPG about the members of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel in Mexico. You can take on the role of the Mob Boss, an Assassin, a Drug Cooker, a Dirty Cop, and more. It’s about the hard decisions you have to make to stay afloat in the War on Drugs. Cartel is meant to tread difficult ground, addiction, hyper violence, verbal abuse are its built into the themes and moves of the game.
