A united, but not united Europe, can finally be quarreled with by an ordinary game

The peoples of Italy and Germany have found a new reason for a large-scale conflict. Social networks with users from both countries are seething with indignation because of the game "La Famiglia" released by the Germans.: The Great Mafia War». "Nastolka," according to The Guardian, is based on a story about mafia wars that took place in Sicily in the 1980s.

The board game was recently translated into Italian and began to be sold in various online stores. Last year's "tabletop" "La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War" received the prestigious award "As d'Or", or "Golden Ace", awarded at the annual gaming festival in France. But a relative of one of the victims of the mafia showdowns of the last century, Maria Falcone, considered the game an insult to all those who "fought for the liberation of Italy from organized crime."

"I don't understand how it is possible that someone came up with the idea of this game, playing on the feelings of those who gave their lives in the service of the state," Falcone was outraged in an interview with the newspaper Corriere della Sera.

"The mafia has spread death in Sicily and in Italy . Such a game offends the memory of all those who contributed to the liberation of this land from organized crime," she added.

The Guardian recalls that "ruthless mafia battles in the 1980s destroyed a considerable part of the population of the Italian island." Hundreds of people were killed in the clashes, often by accident. The famous boss of Cosa Nostra, Salvatore "Toto" Riina, ordered a bomb to be planted in the car of Judge Giovanni Falcone in 1992. A month later, another judge, Paolo Borsellino, was also killed in a bomb explosion.

The main idea of the game "La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War" is a competition between players representing different mafia families. The "boardwalk" includes, among other things, the following tasks — to take control of Sicily, using tools such as explosives to "dominate as many regions as possible."

The creators of "La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War" has already issued an apology.

"First of all, I am very sorry if this game offended or offended anyone. That was not our intention. In this game, only gangsters kill each other. So I don't see a problem," said the creator of the game Maximilian Maria Thiel.
