We could have made this card turn people into gangsters. Instead, we chose to make this card represent how the Sigma Iotians were imitative. As others have pointed out, it was likely they would have become whatever was described in the book. Book on Roman history? Boom, their gladiators. Book on WW2? Axis and Allies. Yeah, it was a book about Chicago gangs, so they ended up gangsters, but we wanted the card to be broadly useful.
As it is, you get to imitate whomever lands on your planet. I think it's a cool piece of design. But one thing all designers know is that you can't make everyone happy all of the time. As long as some people like and are excited by this card, I'll call it a way.
There's plenty of room for more cards from "A Piece of the Action." We really only scratch the surface of a lot of stories from TOS. But the game is always hungry for new content, and I plan to keep making the game for decades to come. Gangsters will get more.
