Taking under half the running time of the three-hour film, it’s a remarkably elegant adaptation that feels exactly as long and as deep as it should. For adults and teens ages 14 and up, get a group of 3-6 people together to play this family game for kids and adults.

The player with the most miniatures in a location at the end of an act gains a control marker there. Once the Turf War is resolved in each Act, players get to bid for Allies (these are further broken down by Act, and gradually provide bigger and greater rewards as the game progresses).

Play from a hand of cards that allow you to form strategic alliances with the exchange of a rose… Perform actions that have you diving behind cars for cover… or take aim at your opponents to gain power and take on other players’ Dons. El vendedor excelente, el producto llegó un día antes de lo estimado y en buenas condiciones, aunque el manual tenía la portada levemente despintada.

El producto: evidentemente es para fans del padrino, me decepcionó un poco que sólo incluyeron la miniatura de vito y no la de michael ni sonny (las demás miniaturas son las demás familias de Nueva York).Given the near-universal polish of the components and the somewhat fleeting inclusion of Don Corleone, it’s disappointing that the artwork for the job cards simply reuses the cover art showing Marlon Brando rather than offering similarly gorgeous oil painting renditions of the various events and actions executed by the players.

The goal of all this money-making is to secret your funds in your suitcase, as only money here counts at the end of the game. Simple Strategy Game: This family board game is easy to get the hang of and only takes 30 minutes to play. In addition to exploiting spaces for resources, it’s paramount that you wrap your brain around the breakdown of the city.

Plus, there are five lovely metal tins that represent the suitcases of each Don (individually coloured and numbered), and it’s these that are used to stash away laundered money and completed job cards throughout the game.

The board is really striking, and I know many others have not been happy with the background art of New York, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. Everything is done very professionally with this company and always lets you know every step of the process. This gets you lots of resource cards, which means players will fight to take these limited positions first. The city is divided into numerous segments, and to determine who controls a piece of turn you must count up how many of each player’s thugs are currently placed within it and how many family members are adjacent.There is a quote from Michael Corleone which helps set the tone of what the game will be about, as well as a more detailed description of what you will be doing throughout the game. Marlon Brando’s Don Corleone appears as a plastic miniature, but serves only as a round counter and a thematic excuse to discard down to a hand limit at the end of each round. Figures come in two types: henchmen who carry out the more mundane grunt-work, and family members who influence multiple adjacent areas of New York City. Rather fittingly for a board game that will inevitably result in drawling impressions of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, there’s a pleasing sense of theatricality to many of the elements.
