Read the full game description

In Mob Town, 2-4 players take on the role of Mob Families vying for control of unique towns that build differently every time you play. Of course you can’t control this town on your own (you wouldn't want to get your hands dirty after all) so enlist the help of some shady shysters any fan of the Mob genre would recognize: blue tinted Sharks, bolo-wearing Snakes, conniving Weasels, foxy Foxes and of course no good dirty Rats! Expand your empire and defend your turf until The Law shows up to spoil all the fun. Scramble to add up points you’ve earned for each property you own, then pack up and get your tail out of town and on to the next one. After you and your “friends” compete over, the game is over and the player with the most points is declared the new boss of Mob Town!
