Gunrunners

About this board game

Gunrunners is a game for 2–4 players that takes about 30 minutes, putting you in the role of a country’s federal police leader. Your mission is to stop the infamous Merchant of Death and his international team of Gunrunners as they sell weapons in war-torn and drug-ridden countries.

The central objective is straightforward: confiscate more crates of weapons than your opponents. Players take turns deploying their agents to one of four locations, competing for the weapons delivered there throughout the game.

• Central America
• Middle East
• North Africa
• Southeast Asia

Weapons shipments do not arrive evenly, so some locations will contain more crates than others. Choosing where to send your agents is therefore an important part of every turn, as you compete for control of the available weapons at each destination.

At the end of the game, players confiscate weapons from each location based on how many agents they deployed there. The distribution of your agents determines your share, making every placement contribute to your final total.

Gunrunners also features Special Operatives, which give players special powers that alter gameplay in interesting ways. These abilities add another layer to the competition as you work to increase your haul and bring the Merchant of Death to justice.

With international locations, changing weapon deliveries, agent deployment, and special powers, Gunrunners presents a focused contest over limited crates of weapons. Plan your placements, use your operatives, and aim to finish with the largest confiscated supply.
