Game Tips:

Tip 1:

Get the gymnasiums, pool halls, and especially the docks under your control as quickly as possible. The best way to beat rival families is to deny them places where they can recruit "muscle."

Tip 2:

Bribe early and often. Start with the Mayor as soon as you can afford it, then go after the Chief of Police.

Tip 3:

Recruit an Accountant and a Lawyer as soon as possible. The Accountant will be needed for tax evasion, and you'll probably need a Lawyer sooner than you'd like
