City mafia every Sunday: game reviews, player ratings, a website of its own
City mafia in the community started before it became a club: the first game was played on 20 August 2023 at Smoky Bar, a month after the first beach Friday. Back then it was a one-off evening among a dozen other formats. The game became regular on 23 March 2025 — at Max Pizza at the Pratamnak Night Market, with host Alyona — and almost immediately went to twice a week.
The club’s second era began on 11 January 2026, when mafia moved to GrandDaddy.House on Pratamnak — an indoor room, decent sound and a table where you don’t have to shout over the bar. Sasha hosts. Since the end of February 2026 the game days have been fixed: Tuesday and Sunday, starting at 18:00, 100฿ to the host. By summer 2026 more than forty games had been played at the table, and the series hasn’t missed a beat.
Why does this work better than many “smart” formats? Mafia is a rare game where an IT person, an estate agent and someone who arrived a week ago are on equal terms: nobody knows who’s in front of them, and everyone learns to read each other from scratch. Newcomers aren’t left on the sidelines; they’re taught right at the table. On your first visit you can just come and watch, though there’s usually a seat for you to play too.
The club has its own website. It has the schedule of upcoming games, player ratings and game reviews — rebuilt from audio recordings and photos of the host’s sheet, with an honest note on what could be established for certain and what remains probable. For the club it’s both a memory and a reason to argue about the best and worst moves for another week after a game.
You sign up for a game in the club chat: seats at the table are limited, and at weekends they go fast. The rules, roles and reminders before each game are there too. Games, chat and site are in Russian.
