Territories

In Mafia Wars, Territories acts as the game board. A players territory takes up an amount of space proportional to the amount of the family token they hold. Once placed, no other player can be placed in that same location.

Players have used different strategies for claiming their territories. Some make their territory's location related to their name, crew, or art, some choose the location they themselves live in, while other's choose exotic destinations.

Where you place your territory is up to you and we intend to expand the role of the game board in the game as the community grows and the game progresses.
