The Mob (1993)

About this game

This game, a sequel to Mafioso, is also published as Capone. The object is to make money with illegal businesses and then reinvest your ill-gotten gains into 'legit' businesses. Each turn, players use the cards they're dealt sequentially to take control of businesses with their family members. Furthermore, if you wrest control of a business from another family, the foreign family members that were there are sent to 'sleep with the fishes.' Re-implements: Mafioso

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 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.
