About the game
The Godfather Game is an economic board game about the mafia designed by Jody Porter and published in 1971 by Family Games, Inc. Players play as mob bosses vying for control of rackets in various neighbourhoods to gain the most money and become the Godfather. Upon its release, it was heavily protested for its violent material targeted towards children and its depiction of stereotyped Italian gangsters.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources.
