Games like Мафия

Looking for games like Мафия? It's quick to teach and quick to play, easy to get to the table on any night — built on the paranoia of not knowing who's really on your side and deals, bluffs, and shifting alliances around the table. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate. The strongest matches come first; the further down you go, the more a game trades exact overlap for a fresh take on the same core appeal.
