LH/CG Mafia Games

Portrayal of Gangsters in Media

If you have played card games before, then it's likely that you played games like Go Fish, Solitaire, among many other games, many of which are used for gambling, like Poker, Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, etc. However, little is realized by people that aren't me or my sister, or other members of our family, that there is a card game called Mafia. A social deduction game created in the U.S.S.R. by Dmitry Davidoff. There might've been a chance that mafias existed in the U.S.S.R. as they do in the West, and modern-day Russia. The existence of mobs like them has been showcased in many motion pictures by a few directors like Francis Ford Coppola, who directed film adaptations of Mario Puzo's The Godfather for Paramount Pictures with Al Pacino as Michael Corleone and Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone.

Other portrayals have been done by a long time friend of Coppola. Martin Scorsese. These are his mafia films. Mean Streets.

Goodfellas.

Casino

The Departed

and The Irishman.

Even the French media has made a portrayal of mafia groups.

Many of you might already know about the Sopranos, which is also a piece of media regarding syndicates. Yet, the game called Mafia, and I'm not talking about the series of video games of that name, is barely talked about, and I thought about working on or inspiring stories in which Loud House/Casagrandes characters play the game. In the next chapter, I'll be talking about how to play the game, and the different worlds of who could play.
