About Mafia

A social-deduction game for six to twelve seats. Hidden roles split the table into mafia and town. At night the mafia choose a victim. By day the table talks and votes someone out. Town wins when every mafia player is gone. Mafia wins when they equal or outnumber the town. The room runs night and day, so no separate narrator is required.

How to play

How to play Mafia

Mafia eliminate at night. Town votes by day. One side must empty the other.

Read your hidden role. At night, mafia players pick a victim. By day, discuss and vote. Majority sends that player out. Continue until one side’s win condition is met.

Tips for Mafia

• Town should ask for claims that can be checked next night.
• Mafia should not over-defend the same teammate every vote.
• A quiet first day is usually worse than a wrong vote.
