Decide if you will spend money to gain influence or buy weaponry. Will you win more contracts on the street? Will you hire the Enforcer, the Tommy gun, or will the actual Don appear? One thing is for certain, retaliation and counter retaliation will occur and on one cataclysmic day, the firefight will bring it all crashing down. Setup: Deal cards to each player. These are placed face down and become the player s draw pile. The remainder of the cards are shuffled and placed face down and become the general draw pile. Each player receives 2 money tokens. Place one tracking token on the money space. Place the other tracking token on the top space of the action list. Randomly choose a starting player. The Turn: The players follow the actions on the action list on the board. When all players have taken that action, the tracking token moves to the next item on the list. Items in green must be done by all players. Items in light blue are optional for all players. Players take these actions starting with the starting player and going clockwise. The Actions: 1. Draw two cards from the player draw pile: Each player draws two cards from his own face down draw pile and takes them to his hand. All players also gain one money token. 2. Draw two cards from the general draw pile: Each player draws two cards from the general or common draw pile and takes them to his hand.. Buy Extra Cards: Each player has the option to buy extra cards from the general draw pile. Cards cost one money token for each extra card. There is no limit to the cards a player can buy as long as each is paid for.. Give one card another player: Each player, in order, chooses one card from his hand to pass to the player to the left. The next turn players pass the card to the player to the right. Switch from left to right each turn. The donated card is placed face down on the top of the player s personal draw pile.. Place red and yellow cards into safehouse: The save house is the player mat. Players must place red and yellow cards on it face down. These cards can be used in a later phase.. Play zero to two blue cards to the street: Players choose between zero and two blue cards to play face down in front of them. This is known as the street. Players can play gangsters and weapons. Players cannot play weapons by themselves, and no more than one weapon per gangster may be played. Players are bidding for a job contract. The winning player is the one with the highest total shown on the cards. This player gets the contract and wins either money (money tokens) or mob influence (mob tokens). This is described later. For example, the Enforcer mobster card may be played with the sniper rifle. The Enforcer has a value of, the sniper rifle also has a value of. The total is 8 points. Some cards give bonuses if played together. For example, if the Enforcer () is played with the shotgun (), the Enforcer gets a bonus of 8 for a total of Pay to play additional cards to the street: Each player now chooses if he wants to play more blue cards from his hand to the street. For each card played this way, players pay one money token. Players can play as many cards as they want and can pay for that are in their hand. There can never be more weapons than gangsters in the street. but there can be an unlimited number of gangsters. In the case of bonuses, one gangster can only gain the bonus for one weapon. 8. Discard all other blue cards to player discard pile. Each player places all unused cards in hand to his own personal discard pile, face up. All players can see these cards.

2 . Reveal cards in the street: All players simultaneously reveal cards in the street. 10. Buy and play cards from the safe house: Players in turn can add cards from their safe house to the street. There are two ways cards come from the safe house. First, red cards can be paid for--one money token per card--and added to the street. The second way cards are added from the safe house is through a trigger. Both red and yellow cards can be triggered. Red cards if there is a trigger showing. Yellow card always have a trigger showing and can only be played by trigger. The thing that activates this trigger is a card another player has played this round. The card triggered shows a picture of the card that activates it on the upper right of the card. Next to the picture of the activated card is a bonus. Each red card with a trigger gives a bonus of two money tokens. Each yellow card gives a bonus of one mob point. These bonuses are gained immediately and the money can be used immediately. Red cards can always be brought to the street by buying them for one money token, however, if they are brought out this way there is no bonus. Trigger example: The red card Rub Out can either be played by paying one money token or if another player played the arksman. The player playing Rub Out gains two money tokens if the card was triggered by the arksman. Another player can play High Ground from the trigger showing on the Rub Out card (the red target symbol). The player playing High Ground immediately gains one mob token. ore than one player can use the same trigger, but a card cannot be triggered by a player s own cards. Safehouse cards cannot be played to the street if there are no gangsters in the street, and weapons played cannot outnumber gangsters. This phase continues until each player agrees that no additional cards will be played from the safe house. 11. Compare totals and declare contract winner: The player with the highest total (total of cards in a player s street--using the number by the pistol on the lower right of each card) wins the contract. If there is a tie, the player with the Insider in the street wins the tie. If there is still a tie, the player with the highest numbered gangster (including the weapon bonus) is the winner. If there is still a tie, the player with the highest numbered weapon wins. The winner chooses to gain money tokens or one mob token. The number of money tokens are shown on the left side of the board. If money tokens are chosen, move the tracker pawn down one space for the next round, if a mob token is chosen, move the tracker up one space. 12. Contract winner choses a player to lose one gangster: The winner of the contract chooses one player, that player chooses one of his gangsters on the street to die. That gangster is placed in the general discard pile face up. This discard pile is shuffled and turned into a new draw pile when the draw pile is exhausted. Any player with the Don card in the street cannot be chosen to lose a gangster. 1. Yellow card holders choose players to lose 1 gangster: In turn order, the players with a yellow card showing choose one player, that player chooses one of his gangsters on the street to die. That gangster is placed in the general discard pile face up. Any player with the Don in the street cannot be chosen to lose a gangster. All blue cards left in the street are now placed face up in each individual player s discard piles. All yellow and red cards in the street are place in the general discard pile face up. 1. Buy mob points: Any player can buy a mob point for money tokens. Player s may buy as many as they can afford. After all actions are complete, the first player changes to the player to the left of the current first player. The action continue from the top as before. Winning: When a player reaches 10 mob influence, the game is in the last round. At this point continue until you reach the buy mob points phase, then compare mob influence. The player with the most mob tokens wins. If two players tie for the most mob points, the tieing player with the most money tokens is the winner. Copyright 2017, Joe agic Games, Inc.
