Mafia

Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a Russian social deduction game created by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986. The game models a conflict between two groups: - an informed minority (the mafiosi or the werewolves) - an uninformed majority (the villagers) At the start of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: - day-phase - night-phase during which those with night-killing-powers may covertly kill other players, and second, a day-phase, in which all surviving players debate and vote to eliminate a suspect. The game continues until a faction achieves its win-condition; - for the village, this usually means eliminating the evil minority - while for the minority, this usually means reaching numerical parity with the village and eliminating any rival evil groups
