## Description
In Capo dei Capi, we are transported to Prohibition-era New York, a vibrant period where rival gangs vie for control of the city. The mission is clear: bribe politicians, keep casinos running, bootleg liquor, and secure the loyalty of corrupt policemen to become the 'boss of all bosses.' This two-player dice game is a tactical race for area dominance, where every decision can lead you to the top or bring you down. Prepare for a direct confrontation, full of twists and bluffs, where the luck of the dice can change everything. It's a quick filler game (around 10-15 minutes), perfect for that game before or after a heavier one, but make no mistake: it demands strategic thinking and the ability to adapt to unexpected dice rolls. The 'push your luck' mechanic is central, forcing you to decide each turn whether it's worth going further in pursuit of a greater reward or if it's better to secure what you've already gained. Interactivity is high, with 'take that' elements ensuring the dispute will be fierce until the last die is cast. If you enjoy fast-paced games with an immersive mafia theme that blend luck with strategy, Capo dei Capi might be your next obsession.
