Mafia

At night the mafia shoot one player together; the shot counts only when all living mafiosi shot at the same target.

Kill by night, blend in by day

At night
Wakes with the team and shoots: all the mafiosi at one player.
Goal
Reach parity with the townspeople or outnumber them.
Tip
Agree with the team on one target before shooting: split shots don't count.

In short

  • The mafia is a team: ordinary mafiosi and the don.
  • At night all living mafiosi wake together and must shoot the same target.
  • If someone didn't shoot or the targets differ, nobody is killed that night.
  • If there are two or more mafiosi, there's an acquaintance night before the first day: you can't shoot in it.
  • The mafia wins when there are at least as many living mafiosi as living townspeople.

The mafia is a team: ordinary mafiosi and the don (there's a separate article about him). By day they pretend to be townspeople, and at night they kill. The mafia wins when there are at least as many living mafiosi as living townspeople.

At night all the living mafiosi wake at once. The others sleep and don't see what you do. You hear each other and can agree by voice: the app will ask whether to turn the mafia microphone on.

You pick a target by clicking a player's window. You can shoot any living player, even yourself or a partner; the exception is a player with immunity. There's one shot a night, and you can't change it.

A shot counts only when:

  • every living mafioso has shot;
  • all shot at the same player.

If even one condition isn't met, nobody is killed that night: whoever didn't shoot spoils the shot for the whole team. Immunity, if someone was given it at the start of the game, protects that player from the shot on the first shooting night (night 1).

With the automatic host the window closes as soon as everyone has shot, or when time runs out. The room owner sets the time, and the mafia are given more than the other roles. With a live host, the host sets the rhythm of the night.

The acquaintance night. If there are two or more mafiosi, the game starts not with a day but with an acquaintance night. The mafia wake up, your teammates are highlighted on the video grid: you look at one another and go back to sleep. You can't shoot that night yet. With the automatic host the mafia can finish getting acquainted early with the “I know my team” button; with a live host, he sets the time.

If there's only one mafioso, there's no such night: the game starts with a day right away.
