About the game

The mob has gained control in the early 60's. as the capo of one of the mafias, your goal is to make illegal transactions with your mobsters in the right place of the city. However, the law always prevails so you have little time to receive money before the police come. In this fun and uncommon trick-taking card game, you receive money with the best combination of mobsters on the city. Gangsta is a trick-taking game with a big twist: you actually "use" the cards you win on each trick, laying them down on the table, trying to make combinations to win points. When a column or a row on the table is complete, the police bust the smugglers and take them to jail, leaving new space to play new cards. A nifty idea for a trick-taking game.
