Does anyone remember this card game?

Played it loads in the 80's and 90's and would love to get a set but cannot for the life of me think what it was called.

It was based around gangsters in the prohibition (al capone etc) and I seem to recall the card backs were blue. It was bit like Uno in that everyone took their turn and played various tactical cards to screw each other over or escape from being screwed over. You maybe had to collect a crime family, or get rid of one.....cant remember that bit!

I just know that I loved it and I am sure that the kids would like it too.

Done some googling but its not coming up.
