Welcome to The Mobster Game, a free turn-based game based on the real mafia lifestyle. The game is fully browser based so you won’t need to download or install anything, and it works on anything with an internet connection.

In The Mobster Game, you can form a criminal organization in your image, join any number of established cartels, or be a one-man criminal syndicate. Create your reputation with no concern for the law, but don’t expect it to come easy. Respect has a price, and it’s measured in blood.

The Mobster Game requires both strategy and social skills, and allows you to team up with, and compete against hundreds of other players from around the world in weekly contests for the highest net worth. With so many ways to make, invest, steal and hide your money, there are countless ways to the top in this action packed world!

Real Cash, Turn Packages, and other amazing prizes are awarded each round. To ensure the game is fair for everyone, we require that you only register one account per person, and limit one account per IP Address. We attempt to make concessions where possible, but these, and many other, measures are in place to dissuade cheating, and to keep the game fun. Users creating multiple accounts will be removed.

Rounds

Each round will last 7 days to make it fair for newcomers, plus it gives everyone a better chance to win. Once the round ends everything starts over from scratch and you can change your playername and/or cartel name.

Turns & Reserves

Turns are what you use to do everything. Recruiting, attacking, producing, collecting etc. all require turns to work. Every 5 minutes you will receive a predetermined amount of turns, depending on the rounds settings. Each round, you also start off with a given amount of reserve turns. Reserve turns are basically turns used to get you started each round or can be saved for later in the round until you decide to use them. Turns earned by voting are added to your reserves. (Reserve turns must be used during the current round and can’t be carried from one round to the next.)

Hiring Assassins

One of the basics of organized crime is to be able to do things your way and not end up incarcerated or dead. Partly, this is accomplished by not doing any crimes yourself, instead paying others to do so. Under every players profile is a link to hire assassins to kill this mobster. Follow this link to hire out hit contracts on this mobsters operatives & defensive units. You can pay anywhere from $100 – $20,000 per defensive and operative unit killed to make the contract more attractive to potential killers. All money used for hiring assassins is kept in your very own escrow account until someone fulfills the contract.

Operatives

Operatives are the guys/gals that would work in your businesses and produce different kind of goods. The operatives that could be part of your crew are:

* Hookers – turn tricks in the local hotels and split their cash with you.

* Smugglers – sell coke on the street corners for you.

* Bootleggers – sell your whiskey to the local taverns.

Operatives produce and collect considerably better the higher their happiness is.

Defensive Units

Defensive units are guys that would protect you and your operatives, and would attack other mobsters. The defensive units that could be part of your crew are:

* Hitmen – Intelligent with superb tactical skills. The ability to carry 2 weapons makes them very efficient killers. They are not very good thieves so aren’t very effective for theft attacks.

* Thugs – Smart, strong and offer good protection against attacks though not as efficient as Hitmen for killing. They are mediocre thieves.

* BodyGuards – Not as intelligent and well mannered as Thugs but follow orders well and are very loyal. They are very efficient thieves which make them extremely valuable for theft attacks.

Defensives attack, defend and steal considerably better the higher their happiness is.

Happiness

Having your crew happy is one of the most important things that you can do. If your operatives or defensive units are not happy, they will start leaving you as soon as you ask them to operate. Your operatives need to have defensive units to protect them at work which make them happy as well. Your defensive units also need guns to keep them happy. Happiness can go as high as 150% by bribing officials in your city to look the other way while you do your business. (Don’t forget that Hitmen require 2 guns each to keep them happy.)

Cash/Bank

Just like the real world, you have money in your pocket and a bank account. Keeping money in your pocket is risky since another mobster can attack and take whatever you have on you. Depositing part of you’re on hand cash in the bank is a good idea since money in the bank can’t be taken from you when you’re attacked.

Attacking

To attack a player, go to attack or search for the mobster you want to attack and click on his/her name. When you’re viewing his profile, mouse over “Action” in the options bar and then choose “Attack” from the drop down menu. If you see Out of Range, you may not attack this mobster. Also if the mobster you want to attack is in another city, you need to mouse over “Action” and then click “Follow” in the drop down menu to move to that mobsters city in order to attack him. TheMobsterGame will automatically take your best crew members armed with the best weapons you’ve got in order to have the most efficient attacks. If you win the attack, your guys will pick up all the guns off the dead defensives of your enemy.

Travel

Traveling is used for different purposes: running away from someone that is trying to kill you, doing booze runs or traveling to and from your hometown where your family is located. Being in your own city has pros and cons. A pro is that you’re family offers you more protection in your hometown, a con is that it’s more likely for your enemies to find you! Just like real life, traveling costs money. The price of travel is factored by calculating how many operatives, defensives and items you have to move along with the distance between the 2 cities your traveling between.

Bribery

Local officials are rarely honest (hell, they do work for government), and so they’re more than happy to take your money in exchange for legal favors.
