The players may sit around a table, on sofas and chairs, or on the floor, but they must all be in the same room during the entire game. Make sure that you choose a space that is large enough for everyone to comfortably occupy. 12 to 16 is the ideal number of people to play mafia. The moderator does not actually play the game. They will be in charge of making sure that the game runs smoothly, so the moderator should be someone who has a firm grasp on the rules. If you are the moderator, some of your duties will include:  Distributing cards Telling people when to “sleep” and “wake” Timing discussions Informing people if they have been eliminated Declaring the winner Use a deck made up of as many cards as there are players. The deck needs to contain 1 king, 1 queen, 1 card of a certain suit for each mafia member, and enough additional cards of another suit to represent townspeople.  There should be 1 mafia member for every 3 townspeople, so include this amount of the special suit in the deck. For example, to play with 12 players, remove all but 1 king and 1 queen, all but 3 cards of a certain suit (or the number of mafia players needed), and include only 7 more random cards.  You may assign any card they like to be the mafia card, such as hearts, clubs, or spades. Whoever gets the king is the detective and whoever gets the queen is the doctor, and these players have special actions that they get to use once per round. If a player gets one of the special suit cards, then they are a member of the mafia. If a player gets any other card, then they are a townsperson. The detective gets to point to player that they suspect is a mafia member. If the detective is correct, then that person is eliminated. If they are wrong, then nothing happens. The doctor may point to 1 person who they want to save. They may also choose to save themself. If the mafia tries to kill the person the doctor chooses, then that person is saved for the round.
