Description

The object of the game is to be the ONLY surviving player. A player is removed from the game when his Boss is rubbed-out. Much of the game involves moving Hit-Men about a circular board in an attempt to build up your influence via corrupt politicians, illegal activities and business investments. Occasionally, Hit-Men can be penalized for making mistakes (cards are drawn and effects are carried out), sometimes attempts at rubbing out mob bosses may occur. There are also opportunities for negotiation á la: "If you help me with a vote of support, I will pay for the next business venture you land on." Cards, money and promises are all possible bargaining chips. A little known, "classic" boardgame from 1974.
