About Omertà, el poder de la mafia
Omertà, el poder de la mafia is a highly strategic card game, in which each player leads one of the five mafia families from NYC. Set in the 30s-40s, the families have to fight for the control of their businesses (arms trade, prostitution, illegal gambling...), spread around NYC's five neighborhoods (Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn). Each family has a main goal to achieve during the game, and several secondary objectives that can make the family improve. By means of money and respect points, each family can increase its members (gangsters, soldiers), who will help control the domains and businesses their family owns. Strategic balance between defense of one's possessions and the conquest of new domains will be key to the game, but chance will also take part in it, as attacks, defense movements and several other actions required by many event cards will make us throw the dice. The final goal of the game is to fulfill the requirements set in a main goal card given out at the beginning of the game, and achieving in addition as many secondary objectives as possible, which will bring us additional respect points. Original Spanish description: Omertà, el poder de la mafia, es un juego de cartas altamente estratégico, en el que cada jugador guía los designios de una de las cinco familias mafiosas de Nueva York. Ambientado en los años 30-40. Cada Familias deberá pugnar por el control de los negocios (tráfico de armas, prostitución, apuestas ilegales, ...) que se encuentran repartidos en los dominios de los cinco barrios de Nueva York (Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island y Brooklyn). Cada Familia tendrá un objetivo principal a cumplir durante su partida, y varios secundarios que le darán la posibilidad de mejorar su familia. Por medio del dinero y los Puntos de Respeto podremos ir haciendo crecer nuestra familia (capos, soldados), que a su vez controlarán los dominios y negocios que su familia tenga en su poder. El equilibrio estratégico entre la defensa de nuestras posesiones y la conquista y asalto de nuevos dominios será la clave del juego, que no se ve libre de un cierto efecto "suerte", ya que los ataques, defensas y ciertas acciones requeridas por las variadísimas cartas de Evento nos llevarán a realizar tiradas de dados. El objetivo final del juego es cumplir los requisitos establecidos por una carta de objetivo principal que se nos entregará al comienzo de la partida, pudiendo cumplir además tantos objetivos secundarios como seamos capaces y que nos aportarán Puntos de Respeto adicionales.”
