Mafia!

[jodiamonds]

If you've never played the social game mafia, it's a fun thing to try at least once. It is helpful to play with someone who has played before, though.

But if you can't find players in real life, you could play the forum based mafia game I'm starting in the next week or so! This one should be especially good for new players, as it's not going to

its very fun! and yeah, there are games similar to this too that i've played - werewolves i think? like, used to play in summer camp. so there's a werewolf among you and it bites people, until there are several of you. if the townspeople kill the main werewolf they win, but if not, it's just last man standing. i think games of this ilk are very fun indeed.

Yep, that's the same game. Werewolf is a copy of mafia with different names.

There's lots of variants. Sometimes you get more werewolves each day, or not, or there's mafia AND werewolves, blah blah blah.

Iz good times. :)

See also Volity Werewolf.

Yeah, I keep meaning to look more into that, and into Volity in general.

How often are the "moves"? I don't know if I could play, but that would be part of the determining factor.

Probably the best way to get a feel for it would be to examine an old game (look at the dates on posts so you can get an idea of how much reading there is per day
