📜 How to Play Mafia

🎯 The Goal

Mafia is a social deduction game. Mafia tries to eliminate Town members. Town tries to identify and vote out the Mafia.

👥 Teams

🏛️ Town: Most players. You don't know who's who - work together to find the Mafia!

🔪 Mafia: A small group who know each other. Secretly eliminate Town at night while blending in by day.

🌙 Night Phase

Mafia secretly chooses someone to eliminate

Doctor chooses someone to protect (can't protect same person twice in a row)

Detective investigates one player (learns if Mafia or Town)

• Other roles may have special actions too

☀️ Day Phase

1. Discussion: Talk about who might be Mafia. Share suspicions, defend yourself!

2. Accusations: Accuse suspicious players for trial. With 6+ players, accusations need a "second" to become a Valid Nomination.

3. Voting: Vote to eliminate a nominee. Majority wins. Ties may be decided by Mayor.

🎭 Key Roles

👑 Don
Mafia leader, decides kills
🎩 Mayor
Breaks voting ties
⚕️ Doctor
Protects from night kills
🔍 Detective
Investigates alignments
🔫 Vigilante
Can kill at night (risky!)
👁️ Lookout

🏆 Winning

Town wins when all Mafia are eliminated.

Mafia wins when they equal or outnumber Town.

💡 Tips for New Players

Pay attention to who accuses whom and voting patterns

Don't reveal your role unless strategically necessary

If you're Mafia, act like innocent Town - blend in!

If you're Town, use logic but trust your gut too
