Mafia

Many of you are familiar with the game "Mafia", a very social game in which a group tries to "out" which players were secretly selected to be Mafia members. It's fairly popular in the US.

It is INCREDIBLY popular here in China. They call it "Killer", but the game is the same. Entire bars centered around this game exist here in Beijing. They have rooms in which you get to sit with a group of 15 strangers on comfy seats while waitresses serve you drinks, and you have a computer in front of yourself, which acts as arbitrator (it selects who is mafia and when it comes time to vote on someone's guilt or innocence, decides the verdict).

The Chinese use it as a way to meet people at these bars, they usually play with strangers, though they may come with some friends. At home they play it as well with friends. I've played several times here with my Chinese friends, they absolutely love it.
