Mafia: a simple RPG to do with friends Dear readers, I will share with you a simple and fun role play.
yesterday with some friends we celebrated the birthday of my roommate and I guarantee you that we have played this game for hours without getting tired!
PREPARATION: to play just any deck of cards, preferably Sicilian cards are good but also those of France or just about any other deck of cards in this
this page!
There is no minimum number of players, but to make the game interesting must be at least 6 players, and in any case it is more than you're having fun!
Unfortunately someone has to sacrifice and play the part of the narrator (who the narrator does not participate in the game but it is essential for its performance)
First of all take two aces from the deck, a king and a woman. These cards are our main characters:
the two axes are the killers, the king will be the seer and the woman is the harlot (prostitute).
these cards will add many more cards than they do axes king women until the number of cards will be equal to the number of players.
For example if the players are 10 (the narrator included) there will be two aces, a king, a woman and six other cards chosen at random.
PHASES OF THE GAME: Step 1 A this point the narrator takes the deck of cards that was previously prepared from the compound and a card at random to each of the remaining players without seeing them.
When everyone has received their cards, players must find out which character to play. (The characters that have received several cards from ace to the king and the woman will simply be the victims who have no special skills)
At this point the narrator introduces the game with the phrase:
Night falls on Palermo ... all players lower their heads and close their eyes so as not to see what's happening around them.
When all players have bowed his head and closed his eyes the narrator asks aggli killers to be recognized.
The two players who took the axles, and perk with the sguado and any gestures but without words, communicate to the narrator's character that means murder.
The narrator calls always through gestures confirmation to the killers and ask him to lower his head.
when all players have their heads lowered the narrator asks the seer to be recognized.
After the player who received the paper of the King raises his head, the narrator tells the seer always and exclusively only through gestures and who are the murderers, and requires him to lower his head. Finally
is announced the harlot raising his head and choose which player to bring to bed with you!
When the prostitute has made his decision and communicated it to the narrator nuovametne lowers his head. and the narrator concludes with the statement,
the sun rises over Palermo. Step 2: All players now raise the head and the narrator goes on to say who was killed by assassins killed the player shows his card and from that moment on, lose the right to play, can only choose to expose their companions to their own opinion (for this round).
at this point, players must reach agreement by voting on who to choose as possible assassino. Quando trovano l'accordo il giocatore sospettato può decidere di discolparsi facendo riferimento al comportamento di qualche giocatore o ai suoi sospetti. in questo caso i giocatori potranno ridecidere se cambiare opinione. Quando saranno arrivati ad un accordo il giocatore incriminato mostrerà la sua carta ed uscirà dal gioco.
Ovviamente lo scopo è quello di eliminare entrambi gli assassini e a tale scopo è utile il veggente e la meretrice che hanno informazioni rispettivamente su chi sono gli assassini e su chi non sono gli assassini. Tanti altri comportamenti strani possono essere utilizzati come indizi.
A questo punto tutti i giocatori riabbassano il capo e si ripete la solita fase che va dal"scende la notte" a "rising sun" except for the fact that there is no need to call it the seer nor the harlot when she was killed.
if they were to remain only two players, one of which is a murderess, will survive the murderess.
So be very careful not to delete it the seer nor the prostitute.
SPECIAL CASES: may happen that the person killed by the murderers have been successfully read by the prostitute, in this case the character assassination does not die but is "saved" from the prostitute. In this case, the player announces that no character has been assassinated, but players can still discuss non possono accusare nessuno per questo turno. Si ripete la fase iniziale del gioco.
può accadere invece che sia proprio la prostituta ad essere assassinata, in questo caso morirà sia la prostituta che il personaggio che ha sedotto, anche se si tratta proprio dell'assassino.
se viene assassinato il veggente rimarrà ucciso regolarmente come gli altri giocatori.
Questo è tutto! spero di essere stato abbastanza chiaro nella spiegazione, se qualcosa non è chiara o avete dubbi chiedete pure nei commenti.
Sicuramente i primi turni e le prime partite potranno apparire senza senso e monotoni ma appena si inizia ad ingranare ed a comprendere la meccanica del gioco, il gioco diventa divertentissimo!
