Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Before I start, let me ask you one question. When was the last time you spent with your friends with no money or with no specific apparatus? I bet most of you might say it has been very long since you hung out with your friends with nothing on your hand. Today, I want to introduce one special game to spend three or more hours with your friends or classmates with zero money and no special items and I am pretty sure if you play this game you will lose track of time.

This discussion can be the most thrilling and hilarious part of the game because, while they are conversing, some people can say they are Mafia even though they are not, only to confuse others and there is even a strange situation where actual Mafia says that he IS a Mafia and nobody believes him. This can lead to complicated mind game. Finally when the discussion is over, they each point out a person whom they think is Mafia and the person who gets the most pointing will be accused. To defend himself, the accused person gives a final argument to stop himself from being killed and convince others that he is innocent. The rest carefully analyze his argument and finalize the decision for killing. The decision is made by thumb which means, thumb up is saving and thumb down is killing. If the accused person gets more thumb-down, he gets killed finally, and I tell if he was Mafia or not. If he was Mafia, the game ends and if he was not, the game continues through “day and night” until they finally kill Mafia. However, if the Mafia survives until every character gets killed, the Mafia wins.
I should say, Mafia was the most difficult game I have ever played in my life, but also the most amusing game I have ever learned. According to
