Ultimate Mafia

Ultimate Mafia is a party game for 7-55 people in which secret teams try to eliminate one another. Each player is given a role card that identifies him as being part of the Mafia or a well-respected citizen of the small town in which you all live. The members of the Mafia know who all the Mafioso are, while the citizens are trying to figure out who among them they can trust and who are aligned with the Mafia. Each day the residents of the town convene in the town square and decide on a player to lynch...typically one that they as a group suspect of being in the Mafia. Each night, members of the Mafia "take out" a player from the game. This continues until only one side remains, at which time that side wins the game! One of the great things about Ultimate Mafia is that players aren't limited to just Mafioso and Citizen roles; two additional standard roles in Ultimate Mafia, for example, are The Doctor, who visits a player each night in case he needs saving from the Mafia, and The Detective, who looks into the background of one player each night to determines whether he is a Mafioso or not. Just these roles make for an engaging game, but Ultimate Mafia includes many more roles...more than forty in all!
