Everything I needed to learn in life I learned by playing Family Business

I am frightened by how similar my current work situation is to a game of family business.

Consider the following
Mob 1:
Supervisor; very nice woman; wants everyone to be happy; doesn't want bad things to happen.
Doesn't understand why eveyone is trying to kill her. She sees everyone as an ally, and likes to have us in the game.
Has all 9 mobsters left, but doesn't have any attack cards, and everyone except her knows she's losing.

Mob 2:
Office director; tries really hard, and loves power cards; he's dying to kill the cancer, but he just doesn't know who that is; he also knows that playing the hit might make everyone left in the game his enemy; he's trying to convince me that I don't want to play anymore, so he can knock me out of the game without making any enemies.
He has 5 mobsters left and good cards, and plays a reasonably strong end game.

Mob 3:
Practice director; needs everyone to be his ally b/c he doesn't have any cards of his own; he has a good track record of winning, though, so everybody is a little scared of attacking him.
5 mobsters left, 5 take it on the lams

The New York Mob
Hanging around with 3 mobsters; holding the Vendetta and a few police protections; when attacked by 1&2 tried playing "don't kill me, I'm too weak." #2 responded with a hit and a "Kill the cancer!" cry, followed by a dou-blay, but #1 said "let's see if he'll be the proverbial b*." I played the truce, and have slowly taken my two remaining mobsters off the list. So now I'm playing super-ally to everybody until my company is on firm enough footing. We'll see if Lucky and Meyer can survive long enough for the day that I lay down the Vendetta. And even then I'll have to play it as if I'm doing everyone a favor (no, really, you wanted me to finger that Take it on the Lam).

Mob 5:
Partner A; previously ignored in light of loudmouth cancer New York Mob. Now that NYM is buddy buddy with 1-3, #5 has taken center stage under 2-3's radar. #1 is deflecting contracts left and right, but #5 is talking smack because he's looking for a battle with #2.
down from 4 mobsters a few weeks ago to one Sammy Purple at the end of a long hit list.

Mob 6:
Partner B; sitting around with 6 mobsters, the safe house, the crackdown, and a few other reasonably strong cards. Appears to be allies with #3, and #1-2 appear to think he does not exist. Enviable position.

1-3 have no idea that 4-6 are allies, and they don't even really know what would entail winning the game.

Yes, it's an interesting challenge, but all the things Jill and Betsy don't like about the manipulation of FB are magnified when it's real life.

My hope is that, when it's all done, everyone will think they have won.

The mob war is on.
