How to Play

Mafia Works is a game for 2 to 4 players. For the initial set-up, take all the components out from the box save for the gems. Roll the dice according to the number of players (+2 dice of total players).

 

Distribute card sets to each player, then group the dice according to their value in descending order.

 

The game lasts for 8 rounds, in which each round players must select a card from her hand to play against the other players. After all players have chosen the card, the cards are revealed simultaneously.

 

If there are more than one card with the same value in a round, both cards’ effect is nullified and they are disqualified from the round (except when the skull comes into play). Otherwise, the cards’ abilities are activated starting from the smallest number value. Afterwards, the player with the highest value card has first pick of the dice, the value of which is directly converted into diamonds.

 

By the end of the eighth round, the player with the most is declared the winner.
