The Family is a 2-4 player tabletop card game, putting YOU in the shoes of a crime boss.

Pit yourself against your friends and family and see who comes on top as the best crime boss. You’ll need to draw from the deck, place associates on locations and eliminate your rivals to gain control of your turf and win. Be ruthless, or you will not succeed. Be ruthless, or you will not succeed.

It’s turn based, you each get a turn in order, however some strategic bonuses you earn will allow you a second turn, such as attacking after you’ve drawn cards.

Turn types: Draw cards for nifty ways to make your position better or maybe worse (a gamble worth taking most of the time). Attack rivals using dice when you’ve gained the right strategic advantages. Command locations to receive strategic bonuses. Reinforce locations you occupy to ensure success.
