How to Play Mafia 

Mafia is really fun if you can keep up with your creativity and add custom roles and modification to the already existing role

Thank you, this has really helped!!

we played another version in the last few days of school every year. there were more roles and it was a bit more complicated: the townspeople: the doctor: exactly the same but can't heal the same person twice in a row so he isn't invincible the detective: he will choose a person and the moderator will give a thumbs up or down to say if they're the mafia or not. then he goes back to sleep the sniper/sheriff: can choose someone to kill but if they are wrong they will die. can only kill 2 people. they can also skip and choose nobody. the armor wearer? (couldn't translate the name): has 2 lives unless voted out and everyone will know the role after the first life the mayor/cowboy: so in this version the roles of dead people aren't announced but the mayor can tell the moderator to announce how many mafias and townspeople are left but not the roles. this can be done when the mayor is dead if more than half the people want to but only once (twice if there is no mayor) and only at the very start of the day. normal people: normal people the mafia: the godfather: the person that tells the moderator who to kill and if the detective choses him he can't say anything against him or vote for him. if the godfather is killed or voted out the other mafias have to agree on who to kill like in the video. dr lecter: the doctor but for the mafia the reporter: the detective but for the mafia normal mafia: normal mafia new rules: based on the number of players there will be 3 mafia (1 godfather and 2 normal mafia) 4 mafia (godfather dr lecter and 2 mafia) or 5 mafia (one of each and 2 normal mafia). if the players don't want a reporter there will be 1 godfather 1 dr lecter and 3 normal mafia. for the townspeople there is one of each role and the rest are normal people. the moderator will write down the rule names on paper and give them to all the players nobody will be killed in the first night. the first night only mafias wake up to know who is who. they will know who every mafia's role is. when everyone wakes up the moderator will choose who is the first to talk. then everyone will talk in order (the moderator will choose clockwise or c clockwise) you can't tell your rule. you can only say that you are from the townspeople. the day will end when a full circle is complete. people can also request a challenge from the person currently talking. if the player accepts then they will talk even if its been there turn before or hasn't been there turn yet after that the player who gave the challenge will talk (or not if they already have or don't want to talk). you can only talk for twice via challenge each round. people also give a thumbs up or down if they agree or disagree with the person talking but this won't effect the voting. the person talking can also say give a thumbs up if you think this or that. at night first the mafia kills someone then the reporter chooses someone from the townspeople then the detective chooses someone then the doctor then the sheriff then doctor lecter then the mayor. after that if the mayor died nobody will know the roles but at day all dead people will say there last words before knowing who killed them and getting eliminated. how to vote: the after everyone talked you the moderator will count the votes and the people with the highest votes stand up to defend themselves with one final speech. after the speech there will be a final vote. if its a three way tie then nobody gets voted out but if its a 2 way tie then both of them get voted out. and if its 1 person they get voted out.

Thank you. This explanation is very helpful

Incredible!! Very interesting!

Here are some tips on mafia 1.If ur gonna use cards then instead of looking at ur card 1st, you can look at other people expressions bc if they have a smile on their face then they are most likely be mafia, detective or doctor, if they seem normal then they most likely have no role and on the good side. 2.If you happen to be mafia and playing without revealing ur role, say ur the detective and ur parter is good and hope the real detective doesnt come out then suidide at night bc the doc most likely gonna heal u which will be revealed and if u are killed, it makes it more convincing then ur parter will be a 100% good even he/she is bad. 3.If u are detective trust ur gut and point out ur suspicious bc u will get mafias by chance it also works with the doctor. 4.Keep track of voting rounds and the people who died to figure out who is who, like if someone voted for the person claiming to be the detective, he is either mafia or detective. it benefits the mafia alot bc they just can kill him off so that u can accuse others of being mafia without any suspicions. It also tests the detective bc if the person that voted a claimed detective and still alive then he most likely be lying unless the mafias are clueless. 5.Look at how people act in the game bc the most frustrated people are mostly no role viligers, the most accusing people are either mafias, viligers that are confident or the detective who checked on a mafia, the people who got everyone attention are good bc a mafia doesn’t wants attention to themselves since they are hiding thier role. 6.Dont forget ur role bc imagine forgetting ur mafia and there are 4 players left with 2 mafias, imgine u didn’t heal or check anyone bc u forget ur doctor or detective😂. 7.Dont forget to say thier role to wake them up instead of thier name if ur the moderator😂.

His game is sooooooo fun! The bigger the group the better lol

Something I would want to do with this game one day to add custom roles, to make the game more advanced and more interesting

I got the game...now i just need friends😢

My family loves this game... We modified it slightly but play the same way

So who else is here to understand night has come (k-drama) better-?

Watching this before starting the marathon of "Don't lie" (svt)😂

who else is a kpop stan trying to understand when they play mafia?! 😭😭

I played this game alot but i play with 3 more roles. This is how i play it with 12-18 players evil side 3 mafias 1 bad town person good side 1 dectective 1 doctor 1 necromancer 2 partners rest town people how all roles works evil roles mafias-kill one person -must be same amount as good side bad town person-win only if the mafias does good roles dectective-check one player if he is a mafia or not(checking the bad town people will say he is good) doctor-heal one person necromancer-know what side each player voted(only if no roles are revealed after one deaths) partners-know who each other and thier both good town people-does nothing at night but vote

Ayoo, I think this is too big of a coincidence. Yesterday I was thinking bout checking on wikihow how to play mafia, well ofcourse I forgot to do so. But now, boom. They posted a video just yesterday, it's on my homepage.

i played this game wirh my relatives we loves it

Among Us players trying not to laugh during the whole video:

Mafia42 players will love this game

I play with my friend all the time!

Me it’s so funny when they debuted

Now i Understand the Game after watching Night Has Come

Nice

For WahBanana’s case for the game show, “The Killer Game”, the doctor wakes up first, then the detective.

That's how mafia works!

it’s like flicker

POV: you played this at summer school in today for the whole day

Can the mafia kill the detective? What happens if the detective die?

I love to play Mafia game

Can someone explain the game in reply section, Cuz I didn’t understand the game...

BEST.GAME.EVER.

Can mafia kill the detective?

To understand better watch night has come drama

if detective had already found the mafia then why debate and send off another again

i played this with my family yesterday but we are only a family of 6 so we only have 1 mafia and 5 townspeople instead

You don't need cards. Just ripped up pieces of paper with written roles. You can also play with fewer people. Just have 1 mafia and no doctor.

Surly the detective will just tell everyone they’re the detective, the doctor can keep him alive and the detective can just tell everyone each night who they chose wether it was a townsperson or a mafia member? Seems like a flaw?

How to play with few people:(I know because I play with my siblings and cousins) Firstgly, cut papers and write civilians on them. On two or more, write mafia. Fold the papers and shuffle them, throw them and every player will get one. One person will say. Everyone close ur eyes. So everyone close their eyes, even the person who said it(he/she is also playing) . Then he or she will say with their eyes closed, "mafia open ur eyes" the mafias will identify each other and then the person u said mafia open ur eyes will say mafia close ur eyes. And then they will say everyone open ur eyes. Everyone will start pinpointing and accusing people whom seem sus. And after 2 or 3 mins it will be voting time And that's all!

What if, the mafia kills the detective, but the doctor saves the detective but the detective also picks the mafia? What happens?

Who is here because of Kdrama Night has come?😂

I played this and couldn’t wake up when asked to go to sleep

how does this end? i.e.: there are 4 players 2 mafias and 2 citizens, how does it end? 2-Also, when the mafia wants to eliminate the detective and the detective chooses to eliminate the mafia, who will be eliminated? 3-What is the role of the detective in a group debate?

Among us is inspired by mafia

Instruction unclear, I(playing as villager) got targeted by the assassin for 2 rounds (Ps: it's a joke and the assassins thought if I am alive, it would be hindering their progress)

Mafia cards: Ace of hearts Ace of spade Ace of clubs *Mafia* - they all vote for who will combust into ashes *jester* *card* - Means you are the wizard or mage You will get to check if a player is mafia or not *king card* *

But I don't have that many friends

SERVICES SELECTION BOARD (SSB)❤

Do mafias kill doctors Or the detective?

What if the doctor chooses a person whos alive?

OK

So if the detective choose the mafia, that mafia will directly be eliminate?

1. First get any 12-16 players 2. Then get one moderator / host 3. Then the moderater must randomly give everyone cards ( the cards must have mafia , doctor , detective and citizen ) 4. Then the moderater will tell everyone to put their head down and close their eyes 5. Then the moderator will tell the mafia to open their eyes and lift their head 6. Then the moderator will tell the mafia to put down their head 7. Then the moderator will tell everyone to get up and ask them if they want to vote or wait 8. If you skip then it will be night and then the mafia will kill anyone 9. Then the moderator will tell the detective to tell their suspect ( if you guess right , the person whos the mafia will get out , if you guess wrong , the person will not get out) 10. Then the moderator will tell the doctor to get up and save anyone (including theirself)(if the doctor guesses the person who was killed the person will not die , if the doctor saves the person who was not killed wont be harmed , if the doctor was the person who was killed and they saved theirself then you dont die but if the doctor saves someone else and the doctor was the person who was killed then they will die) 11. Then the moderator will give the people 5 mins to vote 12. If the people guess the mafia and the mafia gets out then the citizens will win(if the citizens guess wrong the game will go on like this) i tried my best to write this and make it shorter :) (PLEASE DONT MIND THE SPELLING MISTAKES IF I HAVE MAKE SOME) (The doctor and detective shouldnt reveal who they are) bye 💗

Id rather play among us

This variant of the game is not interesting, just for killing time. I recommend the classical mafia with strong rules in the game.

Can the detective and the doctor reveal that their roles?

Just watch beta squad

Dude stop bro

susy bakka

Iran mafia

Isnt this kinda like among us lol 🤣🤣🤣

So Among Us - tasks + detective + cards

thank you anishka is a bad explainer

You boot up ur console or pc and buy mafia and play it

Ridiculous!

what a stupid game

This game is good as a "time killer". A fun at parties .. maybe game. For ESL it can be very passive and the moderator is doing most of the heavy lifting. Students are just pointing at each other and mostly guessing, there is often little discussion except at the end. I feel they get little out of it. I've watched and played it many times. There are lots of games that are better for ESL.

Did anyone else get the vibe that Among Us is actually today’s Mafia Game and it’s a lot more fun !!!🫢🫣
