I play mafia in real life. It is wicked, there is a few mafia, depending on number of people playing (1/4) a doctor, and a sheriff. Cards are dealt out to give people their roles. The doctor is the guardian and chooses to save someone, sheriff investigates people, and is basically a seer. There is talking during the day, and then there is a night phase. Everyone closes their eyes, the narrator asks the mafia to wake up (thus letting the narrator know who is mafia the first round) the look at the narrator, look at each other, to see who is who, and then point at somoene to kill. Then comes the doctor, they wake up look at the narrator and choose someone to save. Then the sherrif, if they point at a mafia they get a thumbs up, and if not they get a thumbs down.

It is a really fun game, and can cause lots of intense arguments (especially if you are playing with family).
