It can also be played in 90 mins or so with four or more players with very little down-time between turns (and takes just over an hour with two players: each player starts with an additional Thug figure, but several Family Member spaces aren’t used, thus making for a fast-flowing, competitive head-to-head). Establish your presence in a region and you’ll profit from the actions of competing families, gathering guns, blood money, alcohol and narcotics, which can be spent to complete specific tasks. Party Game You Can't Refuse: Based on The Godfather movie starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, Last Family Standing is the ultimate adult game for game night.

Production-wise, The Godfather: Corleone’s Empire is hard to fault: the board feels solid, the tiles and stackable counters feel good in the hand, and the decent-sized plastic miniatures (on different coloured bases to represent competing families) all look the part. These jobs, which include extortion, shakedowns and even planting car bombs, are among the most satisfying and thematic parts of the game, with killing rival gang members, stealing from opposing families and hiding cash away exactly the kind of nefarious dealings any self-respecting mafioso should be indulging in. Those looking to simply relive the events of The Godfather will come away disappointed, yet Corleone’s Empire manages to accurately translate to cards and plastic the brutal dealings of the gangster epic.
