CHICAGO,
the 1930’s. The local Godfather is preparing to retire and pass his
empire onto one of his two twin sons, Tony & Tino. He decides to have
a contest between the twins to see which one is best qualified to take
over.
The proving ground will be a neighborhood that The Godfather wants to
control. Tony & Tino will each be given an identical “Crew” to see
which son can develop the biggest rackets and run the neighborhood. The
son that succeeds in amassing the largest amount of money when the
neighborhood is totally under control will have the honor of becoming the
new Godfather.
Players
are trying to earn the largest sum of money by running rackets on the
streets of the neighborhood. Each player, in succession, will place one of
his Crew Tiles on a Corner (according to the arbitrary order imposed by
The Godfather - unless circumvented by playing a card). When all 6 Corners
on a single Street are occupied by Crew Tiles (regardless of color) the
Racket Tile for that Street is immediately won by the player with the
highest combined value of Crew Tiles on that Street (see below). In case
of a tie, nobody wins, and the Racket Tile is discarded. When all of the
Racket Tiles have been won or discarded, the twin who has amassed the
largest sum of money is declared the winner and becomes the new Godfather.
