Mafia City

About this board game

Mafia City is a strategic game for 3–5 players, with an approximate play time of 60 minutes, in which rival Mafia families fight to control the city.

Behind the city’s polished surface, power belongs to those who can act swiftly and show no weakness. Corrupt politicians, compromised law enforcement, and influential elites create a world where every relationship may serve a larger plan. As the head of a Mafia clan, you must combine force, influence, and careful timing to establish your dominance.

The goal is to be the first player to gain a certain number of victory points, representing proof of your power over the city. Victory points are gained only by controlling locations, so every part of the city can become an important contest.

• Send your Mafiosi into locations to compete for control.
• Play action cards effectively to advance your plans.
• Use the effects of locations you control.
• Take advantage of special characters who appear during the game.

Mafia City combines direct competition for territory with a struggle for social influence. A shadowy hitman can help instill fear, but intimidation alone is not enough. Around the iron fist, you will need a velvet glove: pull strings among the elite and position yourself to carry out your plans with ruthless precision.

Each decision can shift your prospects, and underestimating another family may prove costly. Read the changing balance of power, make effective use of the city’s locations, and push your clan toward the victory-point threshold before your rivals can claim the city for themselves.
