What is Mafia?
Mafia is a ten-player social game, so we divide it into many tables! You'll get a secret role and work with your team to win. Each game takes around 45 minutes, so we play multiple games in a row when we meet. The goal of the Mafia Team is to eliminate the rest of the players, the Citizens. The Citizens try to figure out who the Mafia members are and eliminate them.
This is a beginner event so we'll explain everything you need to know. Prior knowledge or experience is not required!
.
How Does the Game Work?
The game has two phases: Night and Day. During the Day, everyone briefly discusses who they think the Mafia are, then votes to eliminate someone. During the Night, the Mafia can eliminate an innocent Citizen. There are also two special roles: the Don (Mafia) and the Sheriff (Citizen). At night, the Don wakes up and learns if one of the Citizens is the Sheriff. Then, the Sheriff wakes up and learns if one of the players is a Mafia. Both these roles are vital in helping their respective teams win.
The game continues until either the Mafia Team is eliminated or The Mafia outnumbers (or equals to) the Citizens. But you don't need to remember all of this; the best way to learn this game is to play it!

Why Mafia?
This game is played all over the world. People from over 50 countries and over 15,000 players take part regularly worldwide (see, for example, 'Mafia World Tour'). Mafia is gaining popularity, with clubs and tournaments happening constantly.
It's a fair game since each player can talk and contribute equally. Regardless of your role, you can help your team win. You can get better and improve your deduciton skills with practice, just like in sports. There's even an international ranking system, like in chess or tennis.
Mafia mixes logic, intuition, and emotional intelligence, so it's really unique. You can read guides, try new strategies, and watch championships. A friendly global Mafia community is always ready to help new players.
We now host regular beginner-friendly events, tournaments and online games with players from across the globe. We also have trips abroad to play with other Mafia clubs overseas!
