## Description
Family Business is that game where betrayal is the rule and revenge is served cold. Each player controls a gangster family and uses cards to take out rivals—whether by putting targets on the hit list, saving their own crew, or triggering an all-out mob war. Chaos reigns: everyone might gang up on one unlucky soul, or the bloodshed might spread evenly. Once six gangsters are on the list, the war begins, and they’re picked off one by one until only one boss remains. The best part? Response cards can shift the turn order anytime, so no one’s safe. It’s pure, cutthroat fun, perfect for quick, interactive games. And don’t worry about language—the game’s easy to grasp even if you’re not fluent in English.
