What you need
- Role cards (deck works: Aces = Mafia, King = Detective, Queen = Doctor, rest = Villagers)
- A narrator (you)
Setup
- 1 Mafia per 4 players. Add 1 Detective and 1 Doctor.
- Narrator deals one card to each player — they peek and hide it.
- Sit in a circle.
How to play
- NIGHT: everyone closes eyes. Narrator calls Mafia to open eyes and pick a target. Then Detective (pick someone to investigate — narrator confirms Mafia or not). Then Doctor (pick someone to save).
- DAY: narrator announces who died. Discussion. Town votes to lynch one suspect.
- Mafia wins when they equal/outnumber Villagers. Villagers win when all Mafia are lynched.
Host tips
- Narrator should be unbiased — no helpful hints.
- Eliminated players stay silent.
- Best in low light for atmosphere.
