Mafia is a party game, modelling a battle between an informed minority
and an uninformed majority. Players are secretly assigned roles: either "mafia",
who know each other; or "townspeople", who know only the number of mafia
amongst them. In the game's "night" phase the mafia covertly 'murder' a townsperson. During the day phase, all of the surviving players debate the identities of the mafia
and vote to eliminate a suspect. Play continues until all of the mafia have been
eliminated, or until the mafia outnumber the townspeople.
