Gangsterville
“Gettin' control of territory requires a walk around the block...
Gangsterville© is a town full of corrupt politicians, snitches and stoolies. Something has to be done;
it’s time to take control of City Hall! Each player leads a crime syndicate of Capos, Muscle and
Wiseguys in a race to take over City Hall.
Gangsterville© is a fast-paced game for 2-4 players. Each player runs their own crime family with
a set of cards. Always trying to be the best on the street to win more Turf Wars than the other players
– ultimately winning City Hall.1Laughter rises as bodies fall in the Turf Wars of Gangsterville!
Gangsterville is controlled by five rival gangs. Each gang is run by a head-honcho known as a “Capo”
vying for turf around town. The rest of the gangs are made up thugs and enforcers known as “Muscles”
and “Wiseguys.” Each Capo is out to recruit the best of the worst Muscles and Wiseguys to build up
their crime families, and lucky (or sometimes unlucky) for them, loyalty is a rare commodity in Gangsterville,
and gangsters will sign up for any gang who makes them the best offer. Each gangster has their own
value rating, so the more high value gangster a Capo can recruit, the better chance his gang has
of winning control of turf, and ultimately all of Gangsterville.
The big boss of each gang is the Capo, so each gang has only one. They are represented in Turf Wars
with a black card. A Capo has no problem going up against another Capo, but Muscles or Wiseguys are
untouchable unless the Capo is on his “Home Turf,” in which case he scores an automatic Hit, regardless
of Strength Value. Their only guaranteed weakness is Muscle Sara Bellum, who is immune to this rule.
Muscles are on red cards. As their title suggests, they are the heavy hitters of their gang, and each
gang has two of them. A good Muscle can turn the tide of a Turf War (unless they pick on someone
their own size).
Wiseguys are on blue cards. These gangsters are on the bottom rung of the ladder, but they make up
for it in quantity, as each gang has three Wiseguys to its name. Still, a good Wiseguy is nothing
to sneeze at, so try and recruit the toughest ones in town!
