About the game

What is Omertà, el poder de la mafia

Omertà, el poder de la mafia is a highly strategic card game, in which each player leads one of the five mafia families from NYC. Set in the 30s-40s, the families have to fight for the control of their businesses (arms trade, prostitution, illegal gambling...), spread around NYC's five neighborhoods (Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn). Each family has a main goal to achieve during the game, and several secondary objectives that can make the family improve.

By means of money and respect points, each family can increase its members (gangsters, soldiers), who will help control the domains and businesses their family owns.

Strategic balance between defense of one's possessions and the conquest of new domains will be key to the game, but chance will also take part in it, as attacks, defense movements and several other actions required by many event cards will make us throw the dice.

The final goal of the game is to fulfill the requirements set in a main goal card given out at the beginning of the game, and achieving in addition as many secondary objectives as possible, which will bring us additional respect points.
