La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War

La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War is a German board game designed by Maximilian Maria Thiel, and published by Boardgame Atelier, which has described it as "a conflict game set against the backdrop of a mafia feud in Sicily". The game is based upon the mafia wars in Sicily in the 1980s, being specifically inspired by the

battle waged by the Corleonesi in which they asserted their control over Cosa Nostra, resulting in the death of over 1,000 people between 1981 and 1983. During this war the clan, led by Salvatore Riina, killed the heads of rival clans, usually via death squads who gunned down their victims on motorbikes with

Kalashnikovs. The game was subject to controversy after it began distribution in Italy in 2025 when the sister of the murdered anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falcone, Maria Falcone, spoke out against it.
