The Boss
With each card played, you gain more information about the loot — or sanctions — that may be yours for the taking in different American cities. Basing upon this information, you send out the members of your gang to those cities: some are pros, some are wannabes.
What is The Boss
With each card played, you gain more information about the loot — or sanctions — that may be yours for the taking in different American cities. Basing upon this information, you send out the members of your gang to those cities: some are pros, some are wannabes.
Whoever has the most gang members in a city cashes the loot or undergoes the sanction. When going to Chicago, you have no choice but to split your takings with the boss himself: Al Capone. The further the game progresses, the higher the stakes are getting, especially in Chicago.
The Boss is essentially a card game (with a small game board for keeping scores) of deduction, bluffing, and a lot of backstabbing.

What the community says about The Boss
Juego de apuestas ambientado en la mafia italoamericana. Hay unas cuantas cartas de ciudad y en cada ciudad se juega una carta oculta, y el resto de jugadores irán colocando cartas bocaarriba. Sabes a priori las cartas que corresponden a cada ciudad, así que las pujas son una mezcla de deducción y bluffing. Algunas ciudades tienen cartas que te pueden enviar a la carcel o al hospital alguno de tus mafiosos. No dura demasiado y no es complicado. Es bastante fácil de asimilar, y tiene unas mecánicas interesantes con las cartas. Está bien.
