Mafia games are a category of social deduction strategy games where players are divided into factions with opposing goals. Typically, the game is divided into day and night phases, with players taking on roles such as Town, Mafia, or Neutral. The objective for most players is to eliminate the opposing faction by uncovering their identities or defeating them in votes or challenges. These games are known for their strategic depth, social interaction, and player deduction mechanics.
Key features of Mafia games include:
What is the main objective of Mafia games?
The main objective varies depending on the faction or role. Generally, the Town aims to eliminate the Mafia, while the Mafia seeks to take over or eliminate the Town. Neutral roles often have unique goals, such as surviving until the end or fulfilling a specific condition.
What happens during the night phase?
During the night phase, players with night actions (such as Mafia members or special roles) can perform actions like killing, protecting, or investigating other players. The rest of the players typically cannot act or communicate during this phase.
How do players win the game?
The game ends when one faction achieves its objectives. For example, if the Mafia is eliminated, the Town wins. If the Mafia equals or surpasses the number of Town members, the Mafia wins. Neutral roles may win by fulfilling their unique conditions or surviving until the end.
