Welcome to Something Awful Mafia!

Mafia is a social deduction party game that can be played in person or online, wherein the peace-loving town has to root out the traitorous scum in their midst before they themselves are eliminated from the game. In the vein of other games like Town of Salem and Werewolf, Mafia will pit an uninformed majority (Town players, who usually have no outside communication) against an informed minority (Mafia who have outside-thread communications and can coordinate with each other). Other alignments with their own win conditions can also appear in the game.

This wiki is a resource run by and for people who play Mafia in the Something Awful Traditional Games subforum. Whether you are new to the game and thinking of joining, or a veteran or returning player, we hope you'll find what you're looking for here.
