About the game
Earn a fortune in babysitting's toughest job! Mob Sitters is a party game for 3-6 players where you play as greedy babysitters working for various mobster bosses! In your turn you play various cards to either earn extra money such as doing jobs for the mobster boss or stealing items from their home. Should cards still be around on your next turn, you 'bank' them and put them in your safe pile. However, if someone wants to dob you in, you could face a very uncertain future, locked up in prison. Or worse, 'disposed of' by the Boss! After 6 rounds of playing and resolving cards, players total up the value of cards in their 'Boss' piles. The player with the most is disposed off by the boss and is out of the game. Next the remaining players total up the value of cards in their 'Cops' piles. The player with the most is sent to Jail and is out of the game. The remaining players total up the value of cards in their 'safe' piles. The player with the highest amount wins the game! —description from the publisher Contents: 6x Player boards 6x 20 Card Decks (Player Decks) Rulebook
