  • Patent number: 6460852
    Abstract: The present invention provides a game, played on an electronic or tangible board, in which the theme of the game is the capture of characters, such as mobsters. In addition, the present invention provides a method for playing the game. A minimum of two players play the game. In the game, a mobster may be represented by a card bearing an illustration of the mobster. A player, acting as an agent, for example, of the law, captures a mobster by acquiring the mobster card for the particular corresponding mobster. A player may then place the corresponding mobster's card in a section of a game board designated as a player's personal penitentiary. Placement of a mobster card in the area designated as a player's personal penitentiary represents placement of that mobster in a prison. A secondary object of the game is to obtain the highest amount of money of any participating player.
