Description

Sicilianos takes us into Sicily during the 1930's. Already then, it was a fine art for the early Mafiosos to launder their ill-gotten gains. Just like today, this was done through 'legitimate' businesses like laundries, restaurants or antique shops. As players of this canny card game, we must take our dirty money and invest it in money-making small enterprises. To do this, we have the use of a powerful Familia.

Unfortunately, other clans have something against us being able to successfully found our enterprises. So, in this game, a legitimate business only comes into being after a hefty clan war. The player who manages to make the most 'clean' money is crowned the head mafioso. But if someone should manage to open one of each of the different business types, he is crowned prince of the island without a fight.
