Have my sights on this, and love everything about the idea. Paradox makes great strategy games, and building up your own Mafia gang sounds great!

"It’s the 1920s and Chigaco has crimes. Hearing that crimes can lead to meeting people named e.g. Two-Ton Clyde Malone, we decide that yes we shall do crimes.

Through illegal casinos, protection rackets, speakeasies, and such we’ll grow a gang, do crimes, expand our turf, throw down in turn-based combat I will describe in a glance as “looking a bit like XCOM”, and maybe even try what I suppose can be considered diplomacy. Along forming alliances, we’ll get to bribe cops and, the announcement says, “schmooze, coerce, seduce, threaten, or kill” folks in our way."
 
If you are interested in this style of game, Omerta, City of Gangsters sort of had this feel. Xcom in a Mafia setting. I wouldn't say it's the best game out there, but it's not horrible.
