Brazil, the new challenge in Mafia Wars

BraZIL (Gather your allies. Defeat your enemies)

Bem-vindo ao Brasil!! (Welcome To BraZIL!)

According to Zynga:

Unlike other cities, Brazil is being presented a little differently. Brazil has been created with the intention to allow friends to ‘team up’ on jobs and challenges in a group setting. This allows every player to invite a crew of friends to collect awesome rewards and speed up completion of this new city!

BRAZIL ROBBING

Robbing in Brazil

Spend stamina to rob properties. If you succeed, you have a chance to steal the rare "Precious Items" collection from others. This collection drops while collecting from Brazil Properties. Once you gather all 7 of them, vault the set in your Inventory under "Collections and Vault".

The experience we may get for robbing in Brazil is lower than on other cities, it is quite poor exp/stamina ratio, below 2.
