History

The game was designed by filmmaker Kyle Weinandy [1] and published by Eagle Games in 2004.[2]

Game Description

On a very large map of New York, including all the suburbs in Queens and Brooklyn, players build up their gangs of thugs, goons and hit men. The players move around the board city in limos, speedboats and helicopters to attack their enemies in order to take control of boroughs to earn income and hire more gangsters. Players can kill their enemy's Boss and then control that gang or buy police protection and move around safely. When a player’s family members congregates in one borough, they are safe, but that earns the player no income bonuses. Put a family member in each borough and the player gets bonuses to income, but then they are vulnerable to attack.[3]

Playing Pieces and Game Board

The game includes over 300 highly detailed miniatures, buildings, hit men, gangsters, limousines, speedboats and helicopters (with rotors that spin).[4] The game board features an almost exact road map of New York and New Jersey.
