MafiaDollar (2012)

About this game

In MafiaDollar each player takes control of a mafia clan and tries to earn as many dollars as possible before the "End of Prohibition" card appears. Players employ gangsters, equip them with item cards, and send them out to the street to "earn" dollars by taking loot cards and bringing them safely back to their warehouses. If the streets are empty, it might be a good time to break into another player's warehouse or take out one of the competing gangsters. Beware of the police, however, as they might pop into a player's hand at any time and turn their forces your way. At the end of the game, the clan who banks the most dollars wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
