Family Business
I'm aware that some people don't like "take that" games – where you do things to damage other players' position. Well, this card game is not for them: it's all "take that!"
Each player represents a bunch of gangsters with cards for the gang's members. Then they play cards to put a Contract on another player's gang member. Who goes onto the hit list if they can't "Take it on the lam" "Finger" someone else or otherwise escape. Sooner or later, a "Gang war" starts and those on the hit list go up against the wall... Last to have a gangster left wins.
It was first published 40 years ago and I've been playing it for most of that time. It's still great, anarchic fun. Just don't take it seriously!
For 2-6 players, aged 8+, playing time 30 minutes: £13.00 (£10.83 tax free outside the UK)
