Dead or Alive: Gangster Trump Cards

Who’s the badder baddie, Billy the Kid or Jesse James, Al Capone or Pablo Escobar? Are the Krays a match for Bonnie and Clyde? Could Ma Barker and her gang face up to Mishka Yaponchik and his personal army of 10,000? Find out who served the most time and who never lived to tell the tale, who ran his operations from inside his cell and who turned her outlaw past into a political career as you pit crook against crim, wiseguy against outlaw, and capo against don. Go head to head with 32 of the world’s worst to find out who really is the nastiest piece of work!
