The Pumafiosi (Puma Mafiosi) operates on a strict hierarchy from the family boss down to the lowest Picciotti. Everyone wants to reach the top, and no one wants to end up at the bottom—or even beneath the soil. Among these aspiring Pumafiosi, it's wise to keep your head out of the assembly line. Stay out of it too much, and you'll soon find yourself in prison, if not murdered by rival families.

<strong>Pumafiosi</strong></em><span> </span>is a refreshingly unique blend of simple trick-taking and precarious press-your-luck. Each trick, the person who plays the second-highest card wins the round, and they decide where to place that winning card in the hierarchy. You can even choose to place your measly card at the top of the hierarchy to stake your claim on the big boss points. The catch is that these cards can be knocked down one or more steps on the hierarchy by higher-valued cards, and whoever owns a falling card is penalized!</p> <p><em>Pumafiosi</em><span> </span>differs from the older title<span> </span><em>Rooster Booster</em><span> </span>Thanks to designer Reiner Knizia:</p> <ul> <li>Enhancing strategy by knocking down the deck to a 1-55 range</li> <li>Making a two-player satisfying experience</li> <li>Raising the stakes by tinkering with the hierarchy of values ​​and penalties</li> <li>Tailoring a theme that gives context to the rules</li> <li>Enhancing the drama by including physical penalty points</li> <li>Layering decisions with further depth and tension via one-time-use items</li> </ul> </div>
