Description

In The Brotherhood, you'll take on the role of a Godfather, vying for control of the city's rackets alongside 1 to 4 other players. With a playtime of 60 to 180 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to strategize and outmaneuver your opponents as you amass wealth and power over the course of a year. The rules are easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - this game is full of twists and turns, from simultaneous action selection to secret unit deployment, that will keep you on your toes. As you navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries, you'll need to make tough decisions about how to allocate your resources. Will you focus on diversifying your holdings, or concentrate on dominating a few key areas? And how much are you willing to risk to take down your opponents, whether through negotiation, bribery, or outright violence? With the ever-present threat of Grand Jury Investigations and the unpredictability of dice rolls, no plan is ever completely safe. But with the right combination of strategy, luck, and cunning, you can emerge victorious and claim the title of most powerful Godfather in the city.
