Read the full game description
Gatsby is a two-player tactical duel inspired by the glittering rivalries of The Great Gatsby. Each turn, a player selects an action token whose position and connections determine how influence shifts across three modular locations: the stock exchange, the racetrack, and Gatsby’s mansion. Recruiting characters grants advantages and advances the contest, but the action system remembers what has already been used, forcing both players to read the board and anticipate the next chain. Win by securing key characters or dominating locations.
