Family Business
Eliminate rival gangsters before they eliminate yours. Each player controls a family of nine characters and plays contracts and response cards to target, protect, replace, or rescue gangsters. Unblocked contracts place characters on a hitlist; when it fills, the first character is eliminated at the start of each turn. Players can also start or stop mob wars through card play, and the last family with characters remaining wins.

Mitchell C3.5 an ok card game. You have to work pretty hard to get the theme across and the mechanics fall a little flat. The game can go on for a long time... overstays it's welcome
Fun game. Wife doesn't like it though so it sits in the closet.
Tom4.6 A lot of quick fun! It's like Uno, except it's mean, and nasty, and generates a lot of laughs! See my review for more details...
