The developers of this game have just made monumental accessibility improvements, and it deserves its own topic here.
You build your own mob, buy weapons and armor, fight battles, do missions, etc. It's a lot like the old Mafia Wars game on Facebook. But what makes this stand out is that you "claim turf" in the real world, based on your GPS location.
So let's say you live in Los Angeles and work in San Diego, but you travel to Orlando for a family reunion. You could claim turf in all cities, and still claim more turf in Florida when you got back home. So long as you have turf somewhere, as long as the new turf you want is close enough, you can buy it or capture it. It's just fun to "capture" places that are local to you, and if you get your friends in on it, it's even better.
The game was playable originally, but you had to do a lot of guessing as to what and where you were claiming on the turf map. Now they've instituted a grid system, and when you tap on a location it says things like, "J1, open, in range, "J3, open, out of range", "j4, open, in range, protection." For that last one, it would mean that if you claimed that turf, you'd have to pay protection money to someone else who had turf close to you.
I'm impressed with the improvements, and also with the level of responsiveness from the developers to feedback they've received.
Here's a link to the Turf Wars website. It's available on the iOS and I believe Android app stores.
