Players control gangs on a large map of New York, moving figures via limos, boats, and helicopters, fighting enemies with dice, and competing for borough control. Managing police protection and placing family members strategically affects income and safety. The goal is to eliminate enemy bosses and gain control of their gangs. Detailed miniatures enhance the thematic gangster experience.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets experienced players aged 12 and up who enjoy complex, long strategy games. With 2 to 6 players and a playtime around three hours, it suits enthusiasts rather than casual or family gamers. Prior knowledge of area majority and conflict mechanisms is helpful.
How It Works
Players move their gang members across the map using Area Movement, aiming to gain Area Majority in boroughs. Combat is resolved with dice rolls, and Player Elimination occurs by killing opposing bosses. Players can purchase police protection for safer movement. Income from controlled territories allows hiring more gangsters.
