The Boss

Players play cards to reveal information about potential loot or penalties available in various American cities. Based on those clues, players deploy gang members—some experienced, some inexperienced—to cities on the board. Majority control in a city wins its reward or suffers its sanction, with a special rule in Chicago that forces the winner to share proceeds with its notorious boss. The game combines deduction, bluffing, and player interaction as hidden information accumulates and stakes increase over successive rounds.
