What is Mafia (Werewolf)?
Mafia (also known as Werewolf) is a classic party game that combines strategy, deduction, and social interaction. It's an engaging and fun way for kids to practice critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills while having a blast with their friends.​
​
How Does It Work?
In the game, players are assigned different roles, with each role having unique abilities. The two main factions are the “Mafia” (or “Werewolves”) and the “Civilians.” The game is played in two phases: night and day.
-
Night Phase: The Mafia secretly chooses a player to eliminate, while the Civilians with special roles (like the Doctor or Detective) use their abilities to protect or investigate.
-
Day Phase: The group discusses who they believe the Mafia might be and votes to eliminate a player they suspect. The goal is to eliminate the Mafia members before they outnumber the Civilians.
