Supplies
* pieces of paper, labeled, Townspeople, Mafia, and Doctor
There should be about 3-5 mafia, normally, and one doctor. Everyone else is a townsperson.
How to Play
Have everyone sit in a circle and draw a piece of paper. No one should reveal his/her identity. A facilitator begins by saying, "Everyone go to sleep." Everyone in the circle should close their eyes. When eyes are closed, the facilitator says, "Mafia wake up." The mafia may open their eyes and look around. Between them, they pick one person (ie: Sonja) in the circle, to "kill." All must nodd agreement, for it to be official. When a person is chosen, the facilitator says, "Mafia go to sleep." The mafia close their eyes, and the facilitator says, "Doctor wake up." Assuming that the doctor has not been killed, the doctor opens his/her eyes, and may point to one person to "save." The facitator then says, "Doctor go to sleep." When the doctor closes his/her eyes, the facilitator says, "Everyone wake up. Everyone may open their eyes. The facilitator will then give a scenario (ie: "Well, unfortunately, Sonja snuck out last night, and was attacked by a group of renegades. The doctor could not save her.) "Sonja" then knows that she was "killed," and may "die" a dramatic death [In the event that Sonja was saved, the facilitator will say this, and no one will "die" in this round. If Sonja was the doctor, then the facilitator will add this fact to the dramatized story]. The rest of the group is then left to try and guess a member of the mafia. The mafia can participate in this to try and throw everyone off. Any person may guess, and must give a reason (realistic or dramatic). Another person must second it. The facilitator takes a vote, and if the majority agree, the person is executed. This person may dramatically reveal his/her identity, and "die." A new round begins, and this continues until either the mafia, or the townspeople plus doctor are "killed."
