About the game
It’s 1928 and the Don is dying! The latest attempt on the Don’s life has left him on his death bed with around a week to live. Seeking a worthy replacement to head the family, the Don has ordered his Captains to prove themselves before his final departure. As one of these Captains, its up to you to gain enough money and notoriety in the hopes of fulfilling the wishes stated in his last will and testament. You will slowly begin to increase your notoriety by owning buildings, winning gang fights, and making heaps of money running extortion and speakeasy rackets. Oh , don't forget! The Don's other Captains intend to do unto you far worse than what you do unto them!

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mob City is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mob City for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Mob City has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
