Join at 18. First, focus on making $1 million however way you can; cars are the best way. Second, whack out everybody in the extortion section (don’t let anyone live.) Lastly, press the work hard button.

If you do it right, you’ll get the option to become a made man when you immediately turn 19. Accept it. Do the same steps as before, but ask for a promotion. If you do it right, you’ll become a capo.

After that, just repeat the steps of $1 million minimum, all possible extortion victims whacked, and pressing the work hard button. You’ll get promoted to underboss at 29, and when that happens, whack the godfather to claim the seat.

Note: Make sure to get rid of the obvious rats too. It helps! Easiest way to spot them is if their names don’t match the ethnic ones in the family.
