FAQ
This is a mob war. Can I improve the setup?
If you dare, yes, you can. In this reprint edition, place the box lid in the center of the table, then stack the box bottom on top of it. One of the short sides of that stacked box will show "The Wall". As you target mobsters for elimination, line them up gains the wall. Eliminated mobsters will be buried in the graveyard tray IN the box. ;)
Some characters look pretty familiar. How is that possible?
This edition adds a metalevel to Family Business. We would like to thank our sister companies Enigma, Asterion, Asmodee Taiwan, CATAN Studios, and Blackfire for adding their own little mob to this game. So yes, you might recognize some of our fellow colleagues in this game.
