Tammany Hall is a strategic board game that immerses players in the political struggles of 19th‑century New York, where they fight for power, influence, and control over city districts. The game is based on the historical political machine Tammany Hall, infamous for corruption, manipulation, and dominating immigrant votes.

Players assume the roles of political bosses competing for control of the city. By leveraging immigrant groups, political favors, and clever tactics, they aim to win elections, become mayor, and distribute city offices among other players. The theme is deeply rooted in American history, giving the game a strong narrative foundation.

Players place their ward bosses and immigrant cubes into different city districts to gain control. Each district holds an election, where players secretly bid political favors (favor tokens) to secure votes. They can also use slander tokens to reduce opponents’ influence. Immigrant cubes represent ethnic groups whose support players seek to gain for political advantage. The winner of the election becomes mayor and assigns offices that grant special abilities (e.g., moving immigrants, blocking districts).

The game encourages negotiation, alliances, and betrayal—perfect for players who enjoy strong social interaction.

Tammany Hall is a no‑holds‑barred political game that blends historical themes, strategic depth, and social tension into an unforgettable battle for power. 🗽💼
