Found an interesting game via a referrer link on my OddMuse site: Mafia! ¹

People sit at the table. One of them is the game master. The other are townfolks. The game master prepares a set of cards, one for each player. The card tells the player whether he’s part of the Mafia or not. The game starts at night. Everybody closes their eyes (head down on the table, maybe), and then the Mafia members look up and decide to kill one of the innocent. During the day, everybody argues and shouts and finally all of the players decide to lynch amongst them. During the day, nobody knows who is part of the Mafia and who is not! Then night falls again, everybody goes to sleep, and the Mafia picks another victim... Sinister!!

Awesome idea for lots of players.

Reminds me of the 1000 Blank White Cards games I mentioned on the GameReviews page.
