Mafia roles
Sixteen roles: the town, the mafia, and the loners who play for themselves. Mafia, Civilian, Sheriff and Doctor are there from the start; the rest unlock in game.
Civilian
TOWN
No power but the vote. No weapon but the truth.
- Cast Vote
- Send one suspect to trial each day.

The cards never lie. She reads what hides in you.

- On a chosen night, reveal one player's role.
- Clear Sight
- Cannot be fooled by any disguise.
Doctor
TOWN
Between the kill and the grave, one steady hand.
- Heal

Sheriff
TOWN
The law walks these streets — a badge and a grudge.

Saboteur

Loyal to nothing. He just wants to watch it all burn.

Bodyguard

- Kill alone each night, allied to no one.
- Bloodlust
- Wins only when he is the last one breathing.
Lady
TOWN
A whisper, a smile — and your night is already over.

- Not twice in a row

Bartender

Spy

Common questions
How many roles are there in Mafia?
Sixteen in Mafia Dominion. Four of them — Mafia, Civilian, Sheriff and Doctor — are available to every player from the first game.
Who is the Don?
The head of the mafia. At night he hunts for the Sheriff, and a Sheriff's check on him reads as innocent rather than mafia.
