Blood Feud In New York Board Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game would more properly be called TURF WARS. A map of NYC is devied up into territories from the Bronx to Queens to the Island. Each player attempt to expand his control building up illegal activities and building his base while keeping tabs against other mobs trying to muscle in.
The game can be won via cash or via knocking off the other player BOSS. As they are eliminated their key family members defect to you expanding your base.
This is a real "guns vs. butter" game. If you don't build up your financial strength you can't get the thugs , hit men and specialists to defend your spots, let alone afford the bribes needed to make New York's finest look the other way, however the number of said thugs, hit men and specialists availabled are limited so if you wait you might not be able to bring in the muscle you need until it is too late.
The game is a lot of fun however however in the multi player game it all comes down to who strikes first and can they succeed. With more than three players the board fills up fast and when you strike you better beware of people hitting your exposed flank, via speedboats, limos or choppers flying in guys to do the hit.
This game is worth your money, it is not the best of the Eagle Games line but it is better than most of what you will find out there.

On a very large map of New York, including all the suburbs in Queens and Brooklyn, players build up their gangs of thugs, goons and hitmen. Move these around the city in limos, speedboats and helicopters, attack your enemies, and take control of boroughs to earn income and hire more gangsters. Kill your enemy's Boss and you control their gang. Buy police protection and move around safely. When your gang congregates in one borough, they are safe, but you earn no money. Put a man in each borough and your get income, but they are vulnerable to attack. There are 300 plastic figures for the different characters, buildings and vehicles. The helicopters are very good. The rotors spin when you blow on them. The game has detailed rules with tables for combat but also a set of clear diagrams. You could start playing in a few minutes.
