Basing upon this information you send out the members of your gang to those cities -- some are pros, some are wannabes. Whoever has the most gang members in a city, cashes the loot or undergoes the sanction. When going to Chicago you have no choice but splitting your takings with the boss himself: Al Capone. The further the game progresses, the higher the stakes are getting, especially in Chicago. The Boss is essentially a card game (but comes with small game board for keeping scores) of deduction, bluffing and a lot of backstabbing. (Description based upon published rules)
