Sample of the rules:
[url]http://www.ghettominiatures.co.uk/Kick_Starter/NYB_RULES_sample_V1.pdf[/url]
"The year is 1974 and the streets of New York are filled with pimps and their hoes, the subway is a crime filled haven and unemployment forces young New Yorkers into a life of debauchery and violence" *
"New York Bop is easy to learn and offers lots of fun between friends and enemies alike. It will immerse you in 1970’s New York, where you will fight your gang of Boppers in a one off game or as part of a larger Campaign" *
"Each gang member will have a number of Characteristics that will help them to beat down their enemies" *
"The Roster cards are designed like 1970’s baseball cards" *
"The rules will be a fully coloured book with loads of illustrations and photographs" *
* From the campaign page
