Night falls, and the sleepy town of Campus drifts off to the land of slumber. Unknown to its residents, a wave of murders are about to take place, as the mafia moves into the area and the townsfolk try to eliminate these violent elements from their midst. Aided by their secretive sheriffs, the civilians attempt to identify and eliminate the mafia, while the town doctor desperately tries to guess the next target and save their life in the night. But be warned, anything you say may be used against you, and accidentally defending the wrong person may get you into far more trouble than you bargained for. All this with the pressure that each night, the mafia strikes again, taking another victim out of the action and inching their way towards victory.

Introduced to the Mohawks by the legendary James O’Brien in 2007, the game of Mafia has been described as amazing, addictive and one giant mind-screw. Across the course of the year, entire evenings are spent in Falmer Bar, playing this high tension game, where players take on the role of civilian, sheriff, mafia or doctor, and attempt to eliminate the other side, without taking down too many of their own in the process.
Superstars of the game include Bob (on a good day), Longface for his calculated genius, Bumfluff for his wilful stubbornness and anyone else who remembered their poker-face… Ultimate losers include Bob (on a bad day), and perpetual mafia gigglers Megan and Wotherspoon, as well as anyone who struggles to lie to other people’s faces repeatedly.
If you’re new to the game then a good place to start is the wikipedia page. After that you’ll simply need to get to Falmer bar after training and get involved.
