Game name: FamigliaDesigner: Friedemann FriesePublisher: 2F-Spiele — October 2010 Featured at: Spiel 2010Publisher: Arclight — 2010Publisher: Edge Entertainment — 2010Publisher: Rio Grande Games — 2010Players: 2Ages: 10+Playing time: 30 minutesLanguage: English German Japanese Spanish In addition to the previously announced Power Grid: Russia & Japan expansion, designer Friedemann Friese will release one other new title through his own 2F-Spiele – the card game Famiglia – with versions in English, Spanish and Japanese coming from other publishers . As you might gather from the title, the players in Famiglia are Mafia bosses who want to recruit more and better gangsters than their opponent in order to have the best gang at the end of the game. Here's a description of the game play from the publisher:CitarThe players collect gangsters, with the goal of collecting the higher-valued gangsters. With the exception of the smallest gangsters (the "0" cards), a player normally needs two identical gangsters (from the same family with the same value) to be able to take a gangster with the next higher value of the same family into his hand. When he does this, he places one of the smaller gangsters from his hand into his play area (the area near him on the table).To get the higher gangsters faster, the player may use the special abilities of the different families, but at the cost of placing more gangsters in his play area. By doing so, however, a player may reduce his options, so he must carefully plan these actions so that he can end the game with the most influential gang.

Ay no, más cuentecitas no, por favor. En la última partida de Power Grid no podía ni ver a mi contrincantes de todo el humo que me salía de la cabeza.
