Adding Mob

One of the biggest hassles in Mafia Wars also tends to be the most rewarding - adding mobsters.

There are a few ways of going about this. The first is to find "add mob websites." My favorite has always been "Spuko.com" - This site lists all of the Zynga games, including Mafia Wars, and allows players to click on photos of other players. With moderate effort, a person could grow their mob to 500 in under two weeks.

I would recommend growing your mob to 500 as quickly as possible. The greater your mob size, the more fights you'll win. The more fights you win, the faster you advance and collect money. Also, each time you add 2 mobsters, you get two fantastic bonuses.

1. Mafia Mikes
I say this time and time again because this property is, by far, the best value in real estate. This becomes a compound effect, just like credit card interest. To succeed in all aspects of Mafia Wars, pleayers should start by buying early and often.

2. Limited Edition Loot.
Located in the "Home" tab, these loot items are the most powerful in the game.
