Mafia de Cuba

steal from the godfather

Gangsters steal from their Godfather. The Godfather puts 15 diamonds into the box, plus – depending on the number of players, 1 or 2 agent, 1 or 2 minions as well as 1 or 2 drivers and then takes secretly 0 to 5 diamonds out of the box. In the phase of Stealing each player in turn opens the box, memorizes the number of diamonds and the person chips and must then take out x diamonds or 1 person chip, secretly, and hide it. If you receive an empty box, you are a a street urchin. In the Question phase the Godfather checks the box content and then asks questions of players in any order. Players, on the other hand, can be silent, can lie, can tell the truth, speak without asking etc. If you accused and asked to empty your pockets you must do so instantly. When the player thus accused really owns diamonds, he is out of play and may not speak anymore. If the player was wrongly accused, gets a joker and stays in play. If the Godfather is out of jokers or if the accused is an agent, the Godfather has lost the game and you win with most diamonds, if you are a thief. If the Godfather accused an agent, this agents wins alone. The driver wins when his right neighbor is among the winners. The street urchins win with the thieves.

The Revolucion Expansion introduces six new roles – a lavish mistress, a shady lawyer, a traitor, his henchman und two revolutionaries as well as a fake diamond.

There are no real facts to go on, clever lying is fun, but the real fun only comes after a few trial games, and a clever and experienced Godfather is essential for the game. Components are classy and fit the story, but the game is not for everybody.
