Mafia is a party game that can be played in a group or online. The premise is that a group of townsfolk (the good guys) try to discover and root out the Mafia menace hiding amongst them. The game has day and night phases: During the day everyone attempts to discover who the Mafia are and vote to eliminate them (execution). During the night discussion is halted and the Mafia choose someone to kill. The game ends when either the Mafia have control of the town or every Mafia member is dead. There are many variations on this!
About
The SA Mafia Wiki is maintained by Ecco and BottleKnight (aka George Kansas), with hosting provided by Alli and her graciousness. It was previously hosted by Phil Keenan (TLB), who very sadly passed away on November 22, 2010. He is sorely missed by all who knew him. Should you need to reach Ecco, either leave a message on their user talk page or via Forums PM. BK can most easily be reached on the forums via PM. The following people are exceptional: Ardent, TLB, Xythar, Soru, Kilgrey, The Ninth Layer, Ecco, Women's Rights, and, honestly, probably not BK. |
A good place to start would be: An overview of Mafia for new players, and the Standard Mafia Rules.
Some of the more common Roles that you'll find in games are: Cop, Doctor, Mafia Goon, Mafia Godfather, Serial Killer. You may also find: Masons, Miller, Survivor, Vigilante, and even: Bulletproof, Bodyguard, Bus Driver, Cultist, Inventor, Jailkeeper, Lovers, Lyncher, Roleblocker, Watcher... This is very far from comprehensive, there are hundreds of possible roles out there!
We use a number of initialisms as shorthand, such as EXLO, OMGUS, and WIFOM. |
