Description

Prohibition! The Mafia is doing well for itself. It's high time you grab your gang to start your own crime syndicate; only trouble is, the bosses tend to get greedy. Try to get everyone's support for a shot at being the fat cat. Just do your best to be fair or else your role will be hijacked by someone with deep pockets.

In the Mob, the Godfather has all the power--but if they fail to maintain loyalty, someone promising to be more generous will take away their position.

The player chosen to be the Godfather flips over each day's card and chooses how the diamonds get distributed. At any time players can make a deal or try to bribe other players, but the Godfather has control over the income. If the diamonds aren't well-distributed by the Godfather, any player may call for a revote, pitting them against the Godfather. If they succeed, they become the new Godfather.

Playtime: 15-45min

Own It Played It Fun Priced Well High Replay Value Well Written Rules Nice Artwork

Even after over 50 plays, from playtesting and just from my friends wanting to play it, I still enjoy the scenarios that happen, and it really is an easy game to play over and over.
