The game everyone is dying to play

ARGUE WITH YOUR FRIENDS - CONVINCE THEM TO TRUST YOU - KILL THEM WHEN THEY LEAST EXPECT IT

My name is Blake Hasenmiller. I started out playing Mafia with a deck of playing cards and nothing but doctor and sheriff back when I was in college. But after many nights of playing until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, the game started to get monotonuos. My friends and I knew each other too well, and the game became too predictable. So I decided to add some things to make it more interesting. One day I sat down and came up with a list of ideas of things we could add for variety. The new game worked well, except that it very inconvenient trying to use a deck of cards to represent so many different roles. So I decided to make some actual cards we could use, and it basically went from there.

Based on the number of Narrator sheets I have gone through, I would estimate that I have played or narrated nearly 500 games of Mafia: Death and Deception to date, not including all the Mafia I played before I actually created the game, and I still thoroughly enjoy it.
