After a major gang war, the mobsters want to fight more against law and order than against each other and to agree on critical decisions in the future — but until the distribution of the city is finalized, each family will try to get as big a piece of the pie as possible. In the area-control game Five Families, you want to use your mobsters to secure control of as many neighborhoods as possible...but never forget that you always need to have enough money and followers at your disposal. Will you be the last family standing?

About Five Families, from BoardGameGeek:

New York in 1931 – The "Five Families" divide the city's underworld among themselves. After a major gang war, the mobsters want to fight more against law and order than against each other and to agree on critical decisions in the future - but until the distribution of the city is finalized, each family will try to get as big a piece of the pie as possible. In the area-control game Five Families, you want to use your mobsters to secure control of as many neighborhoods as possible...but never forget that you always need to have enough money and followers at your disposal. Will you be the last family standing? -description from the publisher
