Everybody playing then writes a caption for the picture using any of the three words on the word card. The person to the left of the rater then randomly reads all of the captions aloud.

The game continues until everybody has been the rater three times and the clever player that has earned the most scoring chips wins!

MAFIA GAMEPLAY CARDS

Make your friends an offer they can't refuse! The more the merrier with this card game, so grab "Johnny Two Times" and "Jimmy Sore Thumbs" and play the game taking everyone by storm. Designed for 7 to 29 players, you and your fellow players secretly draw one card, identifying you as either a Civilian or a Mafia member. One player acts as the Mayor, who oversees the game. Your job is to survive the various rounds (played as day and night), whether you are a Mobster or Civilian. The mayor will announce who may have their eyes open during each round. Each day, players decide which player is the likely suspect they are going to convict. At night, only the mafia members have their eyes open, and they decide who to pick off next, by pointing to the victim. If there are enough players, there can also be an Inspector (who can ask the Mayor about the identity of any player by pointing) and an Angel card (who can point to any player and save him or her from the chopping block). As the accusations fly and the players dwindle down, the interaction gets more intense. The process comprising the night and day scenarios continue until one of the following occur:
All Mafia members have been convicted and revealed (therefore the Citizens win).
All Citizens are killed (therefore the Mafia wins).
The Mafia out numbers the Citizens (therefore the Mafia wins as the Citizens could not come up with a majority vote to convict  a Mafia member).
