Review

An excellent end of night card game. The more petty you play the better it is. Plays quickly with large numbers of people. Portable but requires quite a bit of table space to play.

Each player has a famous ganster gang and endeavours to execute contracts on the other gangs. A successful contract means that the target goes up against the wall. When too many gangsters are up their, the executions start. When your last gangster is out, you're out of the game. An interesting twist is that if someone plays any counter card, it becomes their turn.
