About the game

What you do in a play session

In 1955, in vibrant Havana, you find yourself in the middle of a Cuban mafia scheme. The Godfather, Don Alessandro, entrusted a cigar box full of diamonds to his henchmen while he was away for an urgent call from President Batista. The problem? The box has a false bottom, and when he returns, he expects to find everything as he left it. But are all present truly loyal? In Mafia de Cuba, each player receives a secret role: some are loyal mafiosi, others are drivers trying to get by, and there's even an undercover CIA agent looking to arrest everyone. Each round, the cigar box circulates, and players decide whether to steal some diamonds, pass the box along, or attempt another move. When the Godfather returns, chaos ensues. He needs to figure out who stole his diamonds, and the investigation is pure deduction, bluffing, and accusation. If you accuse the innocent, your honor might be tarnished. If you're a cunning thief, you might get away with it. And if you're the CIA agent? Well, your mission is to ensure the criminals pay for their deeds. With quick games and lots of interaction, Mafia de Cuba is a perfect game to liven up any party, testing your ability to deceive and unmask others.
