Wise Guys

Rival gangs battle for control of the black-market booze trade in 1920s Chicago. Over six rounds, players drive between city locations to acquire materials, cash, and political clout, while buying and selling alcohol, profiting from territory, and exploiting rival-controlled areas. Players negotiate, form temporary alliances, threaten opponents, and double-cross one another as they compete for influence. Selling too much alcohol draws unwanted attention or saturates the market. The gang with the most cash at the end of the game wins.

Very boring collect ressources and convert them to VPs game. No Mafia feeling at all.
