What if you have gathered in a large and friendly company at someone's home? Play the mafia, of course! This simple and uncomplicated game will give you the opportunity to become a doctor, commissioner or ruthless mafiosi for one evening. The rules of the mafia game are extremely simple and straightforward. The whole group is divided into civilians and mafiosi, who will confront each other throughout the game.

Cards or cut pieces of paper
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to choose a presenter who will voice everything that happens, then using cards or cut pieces of paper you need to share it with citizens and the mafia. Crosses can be drawn on pieces of paper (this will be the mafia), and the cards can be divided by suits. Whoever draws the worms or tambourines will be a civilian, black suits will mean the mafia. Depending on the size of your group, the mafiosi can be either two people or five, but no more than a quarter of all the townspeople. The doctor, commissioner and other characters are marked separately if there is a desire to introduce them into the game. After receiving your piece of paper, remember the role and do not show it to others.
Step 2
At the beginning of the game, the presenter makes an introductory speech, in which he indicates the place of action (for example, the city of New York), the event that occurred (for example, the mayor was killed), and then offers to speculate who might be the mafia. How to play Mafia next? Voice your guesses based on the behavior of others. You need to look at this time so as not to arouse suspicion. Although suspicion can be sown with or without reason - she is silent for too long, and he is too actively blaming others.
Step 3
After some time, the presenter sums up the day and lists all those who fell under suspicion. As a rule, these are from two to four people, they are given the final word, and then the residents vote against the candidates nominated in the mafiosi. The one who gets the most votes is put behind bars and he is eliminated from the game, having voiced his role in advance.
Step 4
After the vote, night falls, as reported by the host. Everyone except him closes their eyes. Further, the presenter reports that the mafia has woken up and is starting to do its job. Those who play the role of the mafia open their eyes and gesture to kill one of the players.
Step 5
After that, morning comes, and the presenter reports who was killed after all. Then the residents again begin to discuss who the mafia might be and nominate new candidates to vote. The game can be considered complete if there are as many mafiosi as there are civilians. After all, it is clear that the mafia will vote for one and the same, and it will be impossible to argue between them.
