The year is 1932, the city is Chicago. You head a criminal gang smuggling alcohol in the city. Your informant in the police force just called: the Untouchables are preparing to raid you tonight! To avoid jail, be the fastest to get rid of your stock of alcohol and call "Omerta". Suspicious criminal can do you a favor but be careful not to end up with more points than are needed to win...
Omerta supports 3–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Omerta for ages 10 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.
Omerta has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
