This game, a sequel to Mafioso, is also published as Capone. The object is to make money with illegal businesses and then reinvest your ill-gotten gains into 'legit' businesses. Each turn, players use the cards they're dealt sequentially to take control of businesses with their family members. Furthermore, if you wrest control of a business from another family, the foreign family members that were there are sent to 'sleep with the fishes.' Re-implements: Mafioso
