Apostrophe Games Mafia The Party Game – Game of Lying, Bluffing, Deceit –38 Role Cards, Card Game for Adults and Teens – Interactive Board Game for Friends, Family

We play Mafia game with a large group of about 10 people aged from 10 to 50 years old and it was really fun. You can also modify/adjust the assigned roles as needed. My 10-year-old loves it and did a great job as the narrator and storyteller. The Miller (civilian whose role is to be a fake mafia) can throw people off easily while "Grandma with a gun" role is the most powerful role.To keep the game interesting, make sure all the players will need to keep their role a secret and not disclose their role until they are dead and out of the game (then they can watch the game freely)

Played this game for the first time at a work retreat and had to get it for myself. It’s a really fun game and the rules are easy to follow! Totally worth the money.

The first round or two can be a bit confusing, as can some of the "extra" roles. Basically, players draw cards with a role/character on them. The default is civilian. There is a moderator and everyone else puts their head down and one by one, all the other characters are called and perform some sort of act (selecting someone to save, vote someone out, ask the moderator if one person is the "mafia", etc.). The idea is that each round, one character gets eliminated (unless some of the twists in the game prevent it) and the rest have to guess "who dunnit". Then heads down and it starts again until either you only have players with mafia cards left (or the majority mafia depending upon the number of players) or the mafia get eliminated. Once you get into the swing of things it can go pretty quickly and gets to be a lot of fun. There are quite a number of "extra" characters who have different roles such as undoing an action, or pretending to be mafia when they are not, and all sorts of other things. If you have a large number of players, adding these in can change things up quite a bit.It was a great game to play with family at the beach as it didn't require any equipment or special skills, all ages (I'd say 6+) can play, it moves fairly quickly (you aren't sitting around a game board for hours), and the number playing is flexible. There aren't a lot of games that can be played with 14 people, ages 6 to senior citizen.

It's a simple card game. The card's quality could have beenbetter. Overall, you can buy it.

I had a party this weekend and it was a riot ...people got so into it and it was loads of fun. I can't believe when we played, I he civilians eliminated the god father on the first round

Instead of having to use regular cards, this makes playing mafia so much easier. It is a great fun game to play as well. With all the bad reviews, I thought it may come in damaged. However, mines came in brand new and in great shape.
