By Order of The Peaky F*****g Blinders: The Peaky Blinders

Based on the hit Netflix show, this committee sets the stage in the gritty, smoke-filled atmosphere of post-World War I Birmingham, just before the ambitious Shelby family sets its sights on expanding their burgeoning criminal empire into the heart of London. As the gears of industry grind and the echoes of the Great War still haunt the streets, the Peaky Blinders, under the leadership of Thomas Shelby, prepare to navigate the treacherous waters of the British underworld.

In this committee, delegates assume the roles of key members of the Peaky Blinders gang in their quest for dominance. As the Shelby family plots their expansion, delegates will be challenged to strategize their ascent to power, forging and betraying alliances, evading law enforcement, and outmaneuvering rival gangs eager to maintain their own territories. The committee's objectives are manifold: secure a foothold in London's lucrative racetracks, establish a network of speakeasies and illegal betting parlors, negotiate with the powerful criminal syndicates already entrenched in the city, and perhaps most importantly, maintain the loyalty and morale of the Blinders' ranks back home in Birmingham. All the while, delegates must navigate the war's complex social and political aftermath that has changed the nation forever.

However, the path to power is fraught with danger. Rival gangs, such as the Jewish gang led by Alfie Solomons and the Italian Sabini gang, will not yield their ground easily. Law enforcement, under the pressure of an increasingly concerned government, intensifies its efforts to crack down on gang activity. Moreover, the internal dynamics of the Shelby family itself present a precarious balancing act of ambition, loyalty, and the haunting effects of the war on its members. As the committee unfolds, will the delegates successfully expand the Peaky Blinders' empire into London, establishing Thomas Shelby as a formidable kingpin in the British underworld? Or will the external pressures and internal conflicts prove too overwhelming, leading to their ambitions unraveling before they can even begin? Will you seize the opportunity and rewrite the destiny of the Peaky Blinders, or will history remember you as a cautionary tale of hubris and overreach? The streets of London await your command.
