Mafia is one of the most popular modern games in which strategic thinking is trained, the ability to think out their moves logically, and in addition, this game has a strong psychological component - players learn the secrets of interpersonal communication and learn to understand their interlocutors more deeply. Many aspiring mafia players cannot understand the rules of the game, which some may find difficult. In fact, it is not difficult to understand the basic principles of Mafia.
Instructions
Step 1
In this game, you are an integral part of a team in which each player chooses a side for himself - he must be a mafia or a civilian. If you decide to become a civilian, choose a surveillance strategy. The outcome of your game depends on the ability to observe. Pay close attention to how and what other players are talking about, how they behave, how their emotions are manifested. Try to record all the details, even the most insignificant ones - this will help you to play successfully in the future.
Step 2
With those civilians in whom you are confident, unite in a team - this way your decisions will be more significant, and the votes of the majority against someone are quoted higher than the votes of a loner. On the team, select the person who speaks more eloquently than others and invite him to represent you.
Step 3
Never be passive and do not sit silently - the more actively you participate in arguments and discussions, the more authority you will earn, and the more allies will support you. People who remain silent during the game usually do not interest anyone and have no prospects.
Step 4
Make it a rule to vote against inactive and silent players - they don't matter to the game, and there is no point in their participation. In addition, the mafia often chooses the tactic of silence in order to divert suspicion from itself.
Step 5
If a player has aroused your suspicions, start watching him especially closely. Look at his emotional reactions, watch after what events and phrases the player starts to get nervous.
Step 6
Press on him morally together with other members of your "peaceful" team. Also try to remember who voted for whom in the game. When deciding to "kill" a player, make sure that he is not a civilian, otherwise your reputation will seriously fall.
Step 7
If you play for the mafia, kill too active civilians so that they do not pull the rest of the people with them. Don't suspect your colleagues and try not to blame them. If possible, be quiet and not too active a player - do not give noticeable signals that will let civilians know that you are a mafia. Draw the least amount of attention to yourself.
Step 8
It is also a good tactic to argue that the peaceful player is the mafia, arguing his point of view as you like. Disguise yourself as civilians, uniting with them. If there is no other choice, blame your fellow mafia, as the goal of the game is for the mafia to defeat civilians.
