The Boss

Sure half of the loot in Chicago!

A display – in relation to the number of players - is prepared from character cards with Chicago in position 2 and a city card under each character card but Chicago, the remaining city cards are dealt to the players. Then you play 3 to 5 hands of 5 cards each. In each round you can first place one or more gangsters into a city and must then place one city card, face up. You can only place gangsters on Chicago if you placed gangsters elsewhere earlier. Gangsters you placed you cannot take back or relocate. After the 3^rd card a police card is turned over. When all 5 cards of a hand are played, you win the face-down card of a city if you have the majority of gangsters there. If you have the majority in Chicago, you share with Al Capone half of the cards placed in the cities left of Chicago, the penalty cards are ignored. For the next hand Chicago moves one position to the right, all players collect their profi gangsters that are not wounded or dead and mark their winnings. When the 3^rd  , police card of the same color is turned over, the game ends at the end of this hand. The winner of the game is the player with most money.

The Boss offers a lovely mixture of bluff and deduction, which each open-faced card placed next to a city you have more information what the face-down card might be and you can place your gangsters accordingly; the occasional gangsters are a very good tactical instrument. But! You do not know everything and must take care when you release what information for your opponents! The sequence in which you play cards into a city can decide the hand for you!
