🃏 Mafia party game roles – Mafia, Citizen, Doctor and Detective
The mafia party game (also known as Werewolf) is played with a group of friends: everyone gets a secret role, the mafia knock out citizens at night, and the citizens try to unmask the mafia by day. Here are all the roles and the rules.
The main roles
| Role | What it does |
|---|---|
| Narrator | Runs the game: hands out roles and wakes each role at night. Does not play. |
| Mafia | They know each other and pick one player to knock out every night. |
| Citizen | Has no special power; argues and votes during the day. |
| Doctor | Picks one player to protect each night; if the mafia picked that player, he stays in. |
| Detective (Sheriff) | Each night asks the narrator whether one player is mafia. |
Common extra roles: the Godfather, who shows as innocent to the detective; the Sniper with a single shot; and the Lovers, who leave the game together.

- The narrator hands out the roles secretly, on cards or phones.
- Night: everyone closes their eyes; the mafia wake and choose, then the doctor, then the detective.
- Day: the narrator says who was knocked out, then everyone argues and votes someone out.
