Each turn, you'll set sail to various ports where cargo is known to get "lost" for the right price – Hong Kong, Bombay, Rotterdam, New York and more – and you'll make an offer for the goods on display. In Serge Laget's Cargo Noir – his fourth standalone box game from Days of Wonder – players represent "families" that traffic in smuggled goods in a 1950s noir setting. One player that I suckered into playing The Boss with us quipped in happy frustration, "I hate this type of game, I must buy it." This is the kind of game where players immediately request to play it again. The Boss makes you laugh, curse and grit your teeth as you consider your next move, or in reaction to the plays of your opponents. The game is arguably best with four players as then all the Character and City Cards are in play, and area control games are simply more enjoyable the more players you have jockeying for position. There's a lot of bluffing and second guessing in this game, if you like that sort of thing, you will love The Boss! "I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you." That thee game last a random 3-5 rounds is also great, and works very well during play. I love how they solved the starting player disadvantage by changing the turn order for the last card played of each hand.
My most pleasant surprise find of SPIEL '10. I find that these lists sometimes are helpful for others seeking similar games and the more rich the discussion for more useful the list.įor a complete listing of my Top 10 lists, see- MetaList: Nap's Top 10 Lists.Īs always, thanks for reading and participating! FYI - I am a sucker for comments and discussion and usually most if not all of them. If I missed one that you feel is essential or I am "insane for not listing" (trust me, it has been said before), then by all means let the comments fly.

Feel free to this list (to draw attention and more comments) or any pleasing, interesting or thought provoking entries. This is a list of the BEST! As always, your mileage may vary and some entries may be "controversial." As such, please feel free to comment, debate, or just express your own point of view. These are games that substantially meet all of the following criteria: (1) crime, criminal behavior, illegal activity or organized crime (e.g., mafia, drug cartel, etc.) as the primary theme or element (2) it can be historical, abstract or even a eurogame-but must provide focus on item (1) above (3) compelling "theme" that make you "feel" like a crime boss, thug, mook, patsy, or just sleeping with the fishes, etc. Below is my Top 10 list of games that feature crime, criminal behavior, illegal activity or organized crime as the central theme.
