Der Pate

Players embody Godfathers of Mafia clans and look after finances, status and influence, marked on two tracks. In seven rounds the clans draw income from areas of operation in the boroughs of New York. You roll four dice and assign them according to placement criteria to the divisions „Business“, „Politics“, „Events” and “Call”, with consequences for your status and influence tracks. You can take over business of other clans. The Mafia Car in a borough blocks raids or takeovers. Events turn one of your development tracks into your k.o. track. If you reach the end of this track and are the richest player, you win.
