"Get ready to send a pigñata to your favorite mafia members and make sure they gift them back to you. A pigñata (a pig piñata, get it?) may look cute, but bust one open and you’ll find deadly animals, weapons and armor to make you more powerful. These exploding pigs won’t last forever. These limited-edition gifts must be accepted within 24 hours and it’s only happening this weekend. You won’t want to miss out on receiving these premium items: a Chain Viper animal (46 attack, 33 defense), a Twin Garza 9s weapon (53 attack, 24 defense), a Hammer 760-EK weapon (53 attack, 21 defense), a Deadly Jetpack Prototype armor (46 attack, 15 defense) and Supercharged Stock Car (45 attack, 24 defense). The luckiest mafia receive the grand daddy of all pigñatas – the Iron Titan monster truck (96 attack, 123 defense).

Help your mafia become stronger by giving them free pigñatas and make sure they know to send them back to you."
