I miss Mafia. I used to play it in high school on some math camps, then during my first year of undergraduate. Later - not so much. I would love to participate in a conference and "being killed by Mafia".
I loved the game so much that my Bachelor's thesis was "A mathematical model of the Mafia game" (took some time to find a professor willing to accept such an unusual topic).

Funny fact: you get PI/2 ratio for winning chances ratio depending if the number of players is odd or even.
