This is a fantastic game. I demo for CMON and have played this many times. Every game has been tense, exciting, and fun. It really shines on a full play through as you gain additional family members in Act 2 and 4, plus territory control gets more intense each Act as well. Love it! Can't wait to get this one.

The opening was great! Loved Sam's impression! :D

La Cosa Nostra, other pretty good mafia board game by a little, clever German designer.

The current price on amazon is $30, which is well worth it if you like board games and enjoy the Godfather. Right now it is my current favorite board game.

I'm a godfather fan, but after watching the tabletop showcase, I was feeling how zee seems to feel on this. I think it seems flat and boring and nothing about it screams godfather, could've been just generic mobster. The five families could've been used instead of generic families. The game of filling contracts with boring resource gathering is making me give it a thumbs down. Tom is right, he sure didn't show much enthusiasm, so it just came off that him and Sam were trying to convince themselves they love the game, but maybe that was because they had zee there who didn't share their enthusiasm.

Eric Lang makes a Godfather game and it's a Euro-style economic game. I love it! Eat it, Ameritrash fans! ;)
I played this at Origins and it was one of the highlights of my convention.

I haven't played this game, but I was surprised when Zee said it was "too Euro'ey" for him, because I thought Zee really liked Euro mechanics in his games. I wish he would've explained that more.

The problem here is that when people saw the box, the minis and Erik`s name etc. fell into a trap. They hoped for a really cutthroat dudes on the map game, maybe a gang war game and not an euro. That`s why there are so many negative comments surrounding this game. The game is not bad or boring...it`s a typical mid weight euro game, the problem is not with the game itself, but the false expectations that people created when they saw the theme, components and such. This is a solid game, you just need to look at it as you should. Related to the price...it`s expensive because of the film rights...when buying Blood Rage etc. you don`t have to pay plus money for the brand rights...this is a bitter thing to swallow for people not a fan of the Godfather movie, since the theme is not that strong, so the plus money for them is not worth it and I understand this, if this game had a different name, the cost would be much lower with the expectations.

All in all, this is a solid euro game, but the too high expectation kills it for a lot of people. Btw. the movie is also a slow burner...and the game mimics it perfectly. This is a game what you can play when your group are watching the movie.

I've heard people say this is similar to Lords of Waterdeep with Area control mixed in.

I picked this up from Amazon for $37 during their tabletop day sale.

It's funny. Zee's complaints about it being "not exciting enough" and "too Euro-ey" is exactly how I feel about Blood Rage. This game looks great.

im a Fan of the Godfathet a great movie. however, Sons of Anarchy did it better. area control with a gangsters.

Two issues with the overview:
1. This was left out: If you currently have control of an area
and another player puts a thug in a business there, you also
get whatever benefit they get.
2. It made it sound like only one player gets an Ally card after a
round, but actually, all players except the lowest bidder get one;
they draft them in order from the highest bidder down.
[Perhaps there are corrective annotations? I usually download
the videos and watch them offline, so I wouldn't see them.]
