Five Families FR-EN-DE
alcohol - fuels the spread of organized crime. Nowhere is this more evident
than in New York City, where rough battles happen between rival Mafia families.
After years of bloodshed, the leaders of these families have a secret meeting and agree to divide the city among
themselves. Their goal: weaken the endless turf wars and refocus on their illicit businesses. From that day forward,
the Five Families control the city’s underworld. At the start of this agreement, each family scrambles to seize as
much territory as possible.

The year is 1931. In the United States, Prohibition - the nationwide ban on
alcohol - fuels the spread of organized crime. Nowhere is this more evident
than in New York City, where rough battles happen between rival Mafia families.
After years of bloodshed, the leaders of these families have a secret meeting and agree to divide the city among
themselves. Their goal: weaken the endless turf wars and refocus on their illicit businesses. From that day forward,
the Five Families control the city’s underworld. At the start of this agreement, each family scrambles to seize as
much territory as possible.
Each of you takes a turn in clockwise order. Your turn consists of three phases:
These three phases are described in more detail below. Don‘t be confused by the fact that you take control during your turn before you can claim new
cards. For a single card, the sequence is of course reversed: first you claim it, then you take control.
This simply means that any card you claim that moves into your claim space during the second phase of your turn must remain in your possession
for at least one round before you can take control of it during the first phase of your next turn (provided the card is still in your possession).
The game ends when control has been taken over all districts.
