Description

In La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War, you'll be immersed in a battle for supremacy in southern Italy, playing in teams of two against each other. With six different mafia families to choose from, each with their own special abilities, you'll need to strategize and work together to outmaneuver your opponents. The game is divided into two phases, planning and combat, where you'll develop your abilities, deploy fighters and secret orders, and then execute them to dominate regions. As a team-based game with asymmetric abilities and variable setup, La Famiglia offers a unique and exciting experience. With a playtime of 120 to 180 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to get invested in the game and work towards your goal of controlling Sicily. While the rules may take some time to learn, the payoff is worth it, with a game that's full of psychological duels and intense competition.
