La Cosa Nostra: Guns for Hire

About this expansion

La Cosa Nostra: Guns for Hire is an expansion for 3–5 players that adds 30 Gangster cards and five Influence cards to the Mafia card game La Cosa Nostra. The base game is required.

These new specialists come from international gangs such as the Yakuza, the Maras, and the Russian mafia. Each Gangster has an individual special ability, giving you fresh ways to strengthen your crew and adapt to the situation during play.

Different characters are available for recruitment in each round, so the choices on offer can change from one game to the next. Select the specialists that best match your plans, whether you are building your business, completing jobs, attacking rivals, or protecting your position.

• The Bloody Crips: specialise in completing jobs and making money.
• The Bad Hombres: enable stronger attacks against other players.
• The Yakuza: make it easier to invest in and expand your businesses.
• The Outlaws: help defend you against attacks.
• The Eastern Droogs: give you more options for taking actions.

With five factions focused on distinct strengths, Guns for Hire opens up new tactical possibilities and strategic decisions. The expansion’s additional cards can change how you assemble your crew and how you respond to the shifting opportunities in each round.

Released in 2017, La Cosa Nostra: Guns for Hire is designed to be combined with the original game, bringing new international characters and more ways to outmaneuver your opponents to the table.
