Family Business, although played with a set of specialized cards, is more like a board game in the way it is played. "The game of mob vengeance" is for 2 to 6 players, each of whom plays with 9 mobsters from real historical gangs:
- The Moran Gang (heade by Bugs Moran)
- The New York Mob
- The Capone Mob (headed by Al Capone)
- Murder, Inc.
- The Purple Gang
- The Bank Robbers (including Bonnie and Clyde)
A family business is a commercial organization in which decision-making is influenced by multiple generations of a family—related by blood or marriage—who are closely identified with the firm through leadership or ownership. Owner-manager entrepreneurial firms are not considered to be family businesses because they lack the multigenerational dimension and family influence that create the unique dynamics and relationships of family businesses.
