The game "mafia"

[daryljobe777]

Has anyone ever played this game at a party or other function? Rules can be found here.

At my Student Senate dinner as part of the team building function, and we played it twice, with the "mafia" winning both (what that says about our Senate, I don't know, but I digress.)

Anyway, what are the best strategies for winning this game and getting others to believe you? What about for determining who's lying? Should Mike Caro author a book about it?
