Unlike all other custom maps there exists this one called Mafia
I’ve been playing it this past week and I’m not entirely sure what this map is all about.
Let’s be clear. This is not an action map.

If you enjoy playing Marine Arena, or Desert Strike, you won’t get much gratification out of playing Mafia.
It is however an interesting spin on the custom map experience currently available on Starcraft 2.
It appears to present itself a kin a “murder mystery” type map.
The host picks the game settings, this can take up too a minute or more depending on the complexity the host would permit. Players have the option of repicking the host should they not like the settings the host has chosen. Majority must type in -repick for a repick to actually happen.

You’ll get assigned a random character with a role, your name is obfuscated to prevent cheating via Battle.net messaging. Information is power in this map, and as time passes the murderers will be revealed.
Mafia is a turn-based game, with each day and night passing with a quick recap of who died and who survived being presented. There is a discussion time period, typically ranging 30 seconds, allowing players to talk amongst one another to determine what really happened.

It’s often during discussions that votes to lynch a specific player occur. Lynching is synonymous with killing. So if you get killed, you get to observe the game and gain “points” towards future games of Mafia.
Whether or not this is really a great map is still up in the air. While I’ve played a few games, I’m not akin to enjoying the experience. I’d rather enjoy a game of Desert Strike then play Mafia.
But, if you’re into mysteries and unorthodox Starcraft 2 game play, check out Mafia. It’s a pretty interesting game.
Below is a video I found on YouTube of a game of Mafia. Check it out to get a feel for it.
