The Mafia Card Game

Town of Salem

(Town of Salem, The internet version of The Mafia Card Game)

(The Mafia Card Game)

Last year, I had found a fun game from my Wattpad pals. Actually, I have heard them chatting about it for a long time, but I never bother to look up what was it until one day, one of my friends decided to write a game book about it and asked me to be a part. This finally spark my curiosity, so I decide to do some research.

Basically, there are two teams, The Mafia and The Townsfolk. The Town have to search for the Mafias that are hiding among them and lynch them, before The Mafia kills the whole town. Is a game where you trust no one and only believe in your deductions. Or it could be about teamwork too, if you are able to find your true town mates and combine your roles together. It was originally a card game, but there is an internet version, which was the one my friends were talking about. I give it a go, and I instantly fell in love with the game.

Before the last year end holidays, I'd tried making a few cards of my own and introduce to my classmates, there weren't many of us and we were having problems with the number of players, but we still have fun nonetheless. This year, I pulled some of my new friends to tryout the internet version. Looks like I've made the right choice, all my friends love it.

I mean, who doesn't? This game is full of twist and turns. Maybe the one who was teaming up with you the whole time was actually a mafia, or maybe the one who everyone suspect is actually a Town who is a threat to the Mafias, you will never know. This is where the beauty of the game is, where instead of mindless shooting zombies and bad guys, we have to use our brains and words to talk ourselves out from getting lynch innocently.

I'm very glad to be introduce to this game. It is by far, my most favourite card game of all times (with second being The Uno card game). I just wish that this game was more popular to where I came from, perhaps I would get introduce to the game earlier. Maybe now is not too late to get introduce to it either, I could make it more popular, then we all can share the fun!
