Mafia, or Werewolf, is a popular social game, often played at parties or conventions but also over the Internet through forums etc. To quote Wikipedia, it is at its most basic a clash between the informed minority, the mafia, and the uninformed majority, the citizens or innocents. The game is split into two alternating phases, day and night; the mafia attacks a single player of their choosing during the night, and during the day all players vote on one person to lynch. The mafia faction wins if they successfully kill all the innocents, and the innocents win if they successfully lynch all the mafiosi. Games are rarely just this basic setup, however; most games add several extra roles in addition to the fundamental mafia and innocent designations. Generally the only limit to how these roles can function is the imagination of the game master (GM); they may have special actions they can perform during either the night or day phase, some particular passive property, or even their own alignment and win condition. Some of the more common roles are explained below. ROLES Note that not all roles are guaranteed to be given out in any given game The Mafia Faction The mafia know of one another, may communicate privately at any point during the course of the game, and will show up as mafia when killed or inspected by the inspector, unless otherwise stated. ![]() Mafia don: The leader of the
mafia. During the night, he sends in the mafia's choice of target
to attack, and if other mafia members send in a night action, his
choice always overrides theirs.
Mafia goons: The other members of the mafia. May send in the mafia's night action if the mafia don is away. One of the mafia goons at random will become mafia don if the original don is killed. Terrorist: The terrorist is on the mafia's side; however, they do not know of him, and he does not know who they are (and as such, he may not communicate with them during the night). The terrorist's goal is to ensure that the mafia win, and to achieve this, he has one secret weapon at his disposal: he is a suicide bomber. At any point during the day phase, he may blow himself up and take one player of his choice with him. If the inspector inspects the terrorist, he will be shown as not mafia, and if he dies, he is also shown as not mafia. The Town/Innocent Faction Unless otherwise stated, innocents do not know the role of any other player, may not communicate with other players about the game outside of the public day discussion, and show up as not mafia when killed or inspected by the inspector. ![]() Inspector: During the night, he
may inspect one player to find out whether they are aligned with
the mafia, though certain roles may show misleading information (as
described for each role).
Doctors: During the night, each doctor chooses one player, other than himself, to heal. If this player is targeted by the mafia, vigilante or a fishing brother's revenge kill on this night, he does not die. However, if two or more doctors choose to heal the same player, that player overdoses and dies, even if he was not targeted by the mafia. Lover: On the first night, he picks one player as his lover. From this point on, regardless of either player's previous alignment, their ultimate goal for the game is to be the only two players left, and they may communicate privately with one another at any point during the game. However, if one of them dies, the other immediately dies from grief. Vigilante: During the night, he may kill one player of his choosing. Fishing brothers: There are always two of them. Every night, each of them targets one other player of their choosing; if the other fishing brother is killed that night, the live one will kill the player he targeted in revenge. Escort: During the night, the escort's target's night action (if any) is nullified. The escort's role may also be aligned with the mafia, or there may even be one for each faction, depending on the game master's preferences. Roleless: I will avoid giving out this role unless every possible role has had the maximum possible players assigned to it (very unlikely). If you get this role, you have no special actions, and will be given a role name that means nothing and is purely for flavor (i.e. shopkeeper etc.) You still have the same win condition as the town faction. Singletons/Factionless These roles are an alignment of their own, having their own specialized win conditions. Unless otherwise stated, they show up as not mafia when inspected by the inspector, do not know any other player's role and may not communicate with other players outside of the day discussion thread. ![]() Joker: The Joker has no
abilities, and is functionally a roleless innocent. However, the
Joker has a different win condition from every other player- the
Joker wins the game if they are voted to be lynched.
Roles may be added to this list between games, to keep the game interesting. It is also possible, although less likely, that a role may be replaced with a more interesting or balanced version of that role. [Read more] |
