What's the theme?
The Godfather has been caught and his trial is beginning. The players are his loyal lieutenants and must manage the family's affairs in his place, occasionally trying to influence their boss's trial. He has promised to hand over his position to the best among them if he is acquitted. Players can therefore extort, traffic, bribe, participate in illegal auctions, and ultimately sabotage each other...
But how do I play?
The game is divided into six rounds, each representing a month of the trial, and each month is divided into four phases.
The first phase allows players to collect money by sending their henchmen into the boroughs of New York. They can even use enemy territory by paying tribute... or not! But beware, players who don't receive their due will seek revenge!
The second phase is an auction phase that allows players to expand their territory, acquire kingpins, gain respect points, and ultimately become more powerful.
During the third phase, players can bribe jurors to convict or acquit the godfather, depending on their secret objective.
The final phase is a setup phase that prepares players for the following month.
But how do I win?
The initial goal of all players is to get the boss acquitted so they can become the godfather in his place. Players who don't change their objective during the game must therefore try to accumulate the most respect points, obstruct police investigations, and, of course, have more jurors vote in favor of the boss's release.
However, through underhanded tactics between players, some will draw cards that force them to switch sides and become FBI informants. Their new goal is then to get the godfather convicted and, of course, to gain the most respect.
But how do you lose?
If all the players remained loyal to the godfather and he is convicted, all the players lost.
