Here are the rules of the mafia game:

Professional rules for playing Mafia

Ten people participate in the game. The presenter monitors the progress of the game and regulates its stages.

To determine the roles, the presenter distributes cards face down: one to each player. There are 10 cards in a deck: 7 red cards and 3 black. “Reds” are civilians, and “Blacks” are mafiosi.

One of the 7 red cards is different from the rest - this is the card of the Sheriff - the leader of the “Reds”. “Blacks” also have their leader - the Don card.

The game is divided into alternating stages of two types: day and night.
Purpose of the game: “Blacks” must eliminate “Reds” and vice versa.

Ten players sit at the gaming table. The host announces “night” and all players put on masks. After which, in turn, each player takes off the mask, selects a card, remembers it, the presenter removes the card and the player puts on the mask.

Participants in blindfolds tilt their heads down so that the movements of neighbors or the play of shadows do not become a source of additional information for them.

The presenter announces: “The mafia is waking up.” Participants who received black cards, including the Mafia Don, take off their bandages and get to know each other and the Leader. This is the first and only night when the mafiosi open their eyes all together. It was given to them in order to agree with gestures on the procedure for eliminating the “Reds”. The “agreement” should be carried out quietly so that the “Red” players sitting next to them do not feel the movements. The presenter announces: “The mafia is falling asleep.” After these words, “Black” players put on headbands.

The presenter announces: “Don is waking up.” Don opens his eyes and the Presenter meets Don. In subsequent nights, Don will wake up with the goal of finding the Sheriff of the game. Presenter: “Don is falling asleep.” Don puts on the bandage.

Presenter: “The Sheriff is waking up.” The Sheriff wakes up and meets the Leader. On subsequent nights, the Sheriff will be able to wake up and look for "Blacks". Presenter: “The Sheriff is falling asleep.”

Presenter: “It’s a cheerful morning! Everyone wakes up."

First day. Everyone takes off the bandages. During the day there is a discussion. By professional rules Mafia games Each player is given one minute to express their ideas, thoughts and suspicions.

The Reds must identify the Black players and remove them from the game. And the “Blacks” will provide themselves with an alibi and remove a sufficient number of “red” players from the game. “Blacks” are in a better position because they know “who is who.”

The discussion starts with player number one and continues around the circle. During the day's discussion, players can nominate players (no more than one per player) with the goal of eliminating them from the game. At the end of the discussion, the candidates are voted on. The candidate who receives the most votes is eliminated from the game.

If only one candidate is nominated for the first round (Day), it is not voted on. During the following rounds (Days), any number of candidates are voted on. The one who drops out of the game has the right to the last word (duration - 1 minute).

There is a term in the game called "Car Crash". This is a situation in which two or more players receive the same number of votes. In this case, the voters are given the right to justify themselves within 30 seconds, convince the players of their “redness” and remain in the game. A re-vote takes place. If someone gets more votes, they are eliminated. If the players again gain an equal number of votes, then the question is put to a vote: “Who is in favor of all those voting leaving the game?” If the majority votes for elimination, the players leave the game, if against, they remain; if the votes are divided equally, the players remain in the game.

After the first circle, night falls again. During this and subsequent nights, the mafia has the opportunity to “shoot” (a gesture agreed upon at the beginning of the game). The “shooting” occurs as follows: the mafiosi who agreed on the first night on the procedure for eliminating the “Red” mafiosi “shoot” on the following nights (with their eyes closed!).

The presenter, after the words “the mafia is going hunting,” announces the numbers of the players in turn, and if all the mafiosi shoot at a given number at the same time, then the object is hit. According to the rules of the Mafia game, if one of the mafia members “shoots” at another number, or does not “shoot” at all, the Host records the miss. “Shooting” occurs by simulating a shot with your fingers. The presenter announces: “The mafia is falling asleep.”

Then the Presenter announces: “Don is waking up.” Don wakes up and tries to find the Game Sheriff. He shows the Leader a number on his fingers, behind which, in his opinion, the Sheriff is hiding. The presenter, with a nod of his head, either confirms his version or denies it. Don falls asleep.

The Sheriff wakes up. He is also entitled to night checks. He is looking for "Black" players. After the Leader’s answer, the Sheriff falls asleep, and the Leader announces the beginning of the second day.

If the mafia eliminated a player at night, the Host announces this and gives the last word to the victim. If the mafia misses, the Leader announces that the morning is indeed good, and no one was hurt during the night.

The discussion of the second day begins with the next player after the player who spoke first in the previous circle.

During this and the next circles, everything happens in the same way as on the first day. Nights and days alternate until one team or another wins.

The game ends with the victory of the “Reds” when all the “Black” players are eliminated. “Blacks” win if there are an equal number of “Reds” and “Blacks” left.

Game for adults. Mafia

Number of participants: from 10 people, you can play with fewer, but in this case the game quickly ends with the victory of the mafia.

Required Items: Card deck.

Progress of the game

The task of the game for civilians is to identify all the mafiosi who are hiding among honest people and neutralize them, and for the mafiosi - to kill all the residents and take the city into their own hands. After this, the location of the action is chosen, it can be the players’ hometown, the entire island of Sicily - the birthplace of the mafia, Palermo, Syracuse or another Sicilian city. Then each player talks about himself (that is, he comes up with a story for himself, the so-called legend). One can be a shopkeeper and sell spices and wine, the second chooses to serve in the police, the third is an official, the fourth is unemployed, etc. After this, you need to divide all participants into the mafia and honest citizens. To do this, the number of cards is selected from the deck according to the number of participants so that the number of red suits is 2 times greater than the number of black ones, and 1 card is added - the king of hearts.

All selected cards are shuffled and dealt to the participants; the rest do not know which cards went to their neighbors. The host announces that night is falling in the city, all participants in the game close their eyes. Then follows the phrase: “The Mafia wakes up.” Only the mafia members open their eyes, they look at each other and accurately remember all “their own”. After this, the presenter says: “The Mafia is falling asleep,” at this moment all participants in the game must have their eyes closed. And finally, when morning comes, everyone wakes up (all players open their eyes), after which the presenter with a crushing look says: “Citizens, the mafia has appeared among us. Be carefull".

Next, all the players, based on their guesses, words from the legend of the participants, as well as their facial expressions and gestures, express their guesses as to which of the players is the mafia, and after everyone has spoken, voting begins. Those who get the most votes are “killed” by the players, after which the eliminated player shows his card, and everyone finds out whether they killed an honest citizen or a real mafioso.

On all subsequent nights, the mafia wakes up first, it decides which of the participants is the most dangerous to it and kills him, then Commissioner Catani wakes up, he can ask the host once who, in his opinion, this or that participant is the mafia or an honest citizen. If the mafia manages to identify the commissioner and kill him, he leaves his assumptions in a note. Any player specified by Commissioner Catani is killed without voting.
