Everybody is broadly split into three teams: Mafia, town, and neutral. It’s a game of social deduction, persuasion, and manipulation. It’s changed a little since I was really into it and there’s lots of variations on the regular game.

The online community was dodgy at best – a lot of young kids, a lot of trolls, and a lot of people just plain dropping out mid-game. It’s like the old card game Mafia, except with greater variety, online interaction, and whole, whole lot of metagaming.
