Once a month, we are organising an exciting Mafia role-playing night for people interested in Estonian. During the evening, the participants will be able to communicate with each other in Estonian in a relaxed atmosphere.

This is a legendary and super fun party game, in which the citizens of a city aim to remove all mafia members from society, while the mafia aim to gain an upper hand – a situation where there are more mafia members than citizens.

The game is simple and requires no special preparation or prior practice. The game is a lot of fun and very exciting because, similarly to a poker game where people get eliminated, the Mafia players will want to try again immediately. The game of Mafia requires attention, logic, and people skills. The more you play Mafia, the more you learn about people – you will be able to tell when someone is lying. So, the game also has an educational and a psychological aspect.
