Mafiozoo (2017)

About this game

Mafiozoo is a revised version of Rüdiger Dorn's Louis XIV. The biggest difference between this and Louis XIV is that the three levels of mission cards have been replaced by a 4×4 map of influential locations. Instead of playing pairs of tokens to fulfill mission cards and gain their superpower, you play the pairs of tokens to place goons on the locations; and where you place goons can grant you access to place goons in new locations.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
