Mafia (party game)

Mafia is a social deduction party game where players are assigned hidden roles, typically "morning" roles like villagers and "night" roles like mafia members. Players alternate between day and night phases: at night, mafia secretly eliminate a player, while certain roles like the doctor or detective have special actions; during the day, all players discuss and voting occurs to eliminate a suspected mafia member. The goal for villagers is to identify and eliminate mafia before they are outnumbered, while the mafia aims to eliminate villagers without revealing their identities. The game emphasizes strategy, deception, and deductive reasoning.
