Mafia is usually an 8+ player game that takes about a half hour. It has no board so it's perfect for a large party (especially late at night when people have been drinking) because the players can be all over the room.

The basic concept is that members of the dreaded mafia have infiltrated our community and we, as concerned citizens, need to root them out. So every day we hold a town meeting and lynch someone we suspect of being a member of the mafia (it's not as bad as it seems: we vote first). Then, every "night" the mafia secretly meet and pick a townsperson to kill; the Villagers learn about it in the morning. There is also an undercover Detective and Doctor floating around somewhere who can help the Villagers. At the end of the game when there are only mafia and two Villagers left the remaining Villagers must shake hands. The problem is that they don't know who is mafia and who is innocent and the mafia will try to appear as innocent as they can.

The Game ends when either all the mafia have died, or all the Villagers have died.
