THE BOSS OF ALL BOSSES COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME OFFICIAL BATTLE RULEBOOK: 

Now… any fearless boss can wind up putting themselves smack in the middle of a global organized crime war. This game is extremely fun, addictive, and best of all—if added to another game—can be played well with many bosses at once.

FOR STARTERS!

The five most powerful crime families in the nation are based in the five boroughs of New York City— and they are at war with each other. The F.B.I. is also in their pursuit, all because of a snitch living among them. So far, nobody knows exactly who the snitch is. 

Soon, other crime families from all over the globe—of all kinds—out of the need to muscle in on the Mafia’s rackets, will get into the fight against them. 

In the end, who will be left standing? 

It’s not about coming out last. 

It’s about coming out first!

BATTLE-TESTED STRATEGIES 

* Each Boss must have up to 24 cards to play. 

* Shuffle all cards thoroughly. 

* If there are more than five Bosses, each gets 5 cards. 

* If fewer than five Bosses, each gets 10 cards to start. 

* Flip a coin to see who goes first. 

* Each Boss begins play by dropping down one card. 

* The highest-ranked card dropped stays on top of the Battlefield Pile. It’s that simple—keep going with it, Boss. 

* Except for ‘Insert Power’ cards, bosses may only drop cards from their own crime family and Townspeople. 

* If a Boss picks up a card not from their family or Townspeople, they must: Show the card to all bosses. And then place it at the bottom of the Battlefield Pile. 

* If an ‘Insert Power’ card lands on top of the Battlefield Pile, the first crime family member or Townspeople card beneath it automatically becomes the new top card, and the ‘Insert Power’ card is placed at the bottom of the pile. 

* If a boss is made to pick up cards, they lose their turn. 

* Bosses must announce “Last Card” when holding one card. If they fail to do so, they must pick up 1 card for every Boss in the game—including themselves. 

* To win, a Boss must have no cards left in their hands.

The first Boss to run out of cards during battle wins the game!
