The classic party game of bluffing
In Mafia, a few players are secretly the mafia; everyone else is an innocent citizen. At night the mafia silently chooses a victim. During the day everyone discusses who is suspicious and votes someone out. The citizens win when all mafia members are gone; the mafia wins when they are as many as the citizens.
Optional special roles: the doctor protects one player each night, the detective may ask the narrator whether one player is mafia. This tool deals the roles fairly, shows each player their role privately and gives the narrator a script, a player list to mark who is out and a day timer.
How to use
- Enter player names (or just a number) and choose the special roles.
- Tap Deal roles and pass the phone to each player in turn.
- Each player taps to see their role, then hides it and passes on.
- The narrator opens the narrator view and leads the night and day rounds.
Ideas for using it
- 8 players. 2 mafia, 1 doctor, 1 detective, 4 citizens.
- Big group. 15 players with 3 mafia.
- Tip. the narrator does not play – choose a confident storyteller.
- Classroom. great for practising arguing and listening.
