Part parlor game, part rat race, and fully immersive, THE RACKET invites players into the opening scene of a quintessential Noir film, then turns the plotting over to them. Furnished with a new, potentially criminal profession and a few valuable assets, players compete to have the most money at the end of the party.

As the game gets going, players can team up with or turn the tables on other party-goers, heist a casino, start a mafia or pyramid scheme, win an election, or (briefly) murder anyone who isn’t watching their back.

It's drama with no actors, a game with (almost) no rules, a Film Noir fever dream that epitomizes the mantra “Play or be played.”
