I initially thought about pretending to be terrible at this game so my wife would believe I actually suck at lying. But alas my competitive instincts took over...
Watch what happens when @sama, @PalmerLuckey and I join forces in latest mafia episode.

my goal with mafia was only ever to produce something I loved, with people I loved, and to share it with the industry. but the way you all embraced the show has inspired me in ways I never expected. I remain, as ever, tremendously grateful. onward!

next, as I think through a full season, let me know what rules you'd tweak, and who you'd like to see at the table. with creative projects, I find the most important thing is always just to start, and catch momentum. once something's working, its best days are always ahead.

@micsolana would love an alternate uninterrupted stream with everyone's roles hidden and no time skips so we can play along as a townsperson and try to suss out the mafia in real-time

@micsolana Legendary format. Perhaps host with the teams from portfolio companies at their HQs. Would strengthen talent pipelines

@micsolana After “Werewolf” and “Mafia”, time to finally rename this game just “Massacre” 😂

@typesfast @PalmerLuckey @sama The Mafia Game (or formerly, the Werewolf Game) demonstrate why, and how, Satan worshipping parasites have taken over Western nations and their media.
