How to play Mafiawars
Use automatic mode for a hands-off match or manual mode when a moderator wants full pacing control.
1. Create the room
Choose an edition. Select Host only when an outside moderator should see every role, or Host also plays when the host will join from a separate phone.
2. Join privately
Players enter the room code and a nickname. Each device receives a recovery code for reconnecting to the same seat.
3. Confirm secret roles
Keep the role screen private. Mafia teammates are identified to one another, while most other players begin without trusted information.
4. Complete night actions
Eligible roles select private targets. Protection, blocking, investigation, deception and attacks are resolved in a consistent order.
5. Discuss and vote
Surviving players discuss publicly, then vote privately. Ties can trigger a final revote or no elimination.
6. Complete an objective
Town, Mafia, the Serial Killer, Jester and Executioner have different victory conditions. Survivors can share a faction victory if alive.
