• Show off your custom avatar on your Facebook profile so all your friends can check out your mobster and your mobster rank.
• Play against your friends – or forge alliances with them to take down other mobsters. Make new friends by working with Family members to advance your organization up the leader boards against other crime families.
• With seven different types of illegal rackets and four types of attacks – from Hits to Bombings, Raids, and Takeovers – you’ll have plenty of strategies to use in building your criminal empire and rising to become a Don.
