Every morning tea/lunch for a year or two at school. Thats how myself, beefy, TB, KF, Sarathos et al got into this.

Deck of cards, Ace = Mafia, King = Doctor, Queen = Prostitute (Roleblock) and Jack = Doctor

Usually have 7-9 people playing, 2 mafia. Good fun.

Fun yes... Requires skill? Absolutely not.

We managed to lynch each other for ridiculous reasons. KF can take the credit for that.

Queen Doctor, King Role block or Pankaek, Jack was the detective iirc

Nononono. Queen was the female = prostitute.

I played it a few times with changing groups of people. Had a lot of fun especially since I soon took the role of narrator and tried to be as entertaining with my kill and lynch "write-ups" as possible. So I can really appreciate the creativity the host here put into there games.

In Germany we even have a regular game you can buy that works like the mafia games, the setting is altered so that the bad guys are werewolves and not mafia. Apart from that it is pretty much the same. My mum is really into this game for some time now, so we play whenever we are enough people to fill the roles. That's why I recently had the pleasure to play "mafia" with my grandparents and some other family members I would have never imagined to play it with. That was definitely fun, but at the same time quite bizarre.
