Gallery Label:
With the vivid graphics and oversize box typical of McLoughlin Brothers' best work, Rival Policemen is highly coveted by today's board game collectors. Players representing rival police forces compete to capture the greatest number of crooks roaming the city's streets. Rival Policemen was inspired by a tense period in New York City's history when a state-controlled police force and the city's police worked simultaneously -- but not necessarily cooperatively -- to protect the city.
