Really great game. More people you have, the better the game gets. And also, all you need to have for this game is pen and paper.

Are You A Werewolf?
Each player is secretly assigned a role - Werewolf, Villager, or Seer (a special Villager). There is also a Moderator who controls the flow of the game.
The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the Werewolves secretly choose a Villager to kill. Also, the Seer (if still alive) asks whether another player is a Werewolf or not. During the day, the Villager who was killed is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining Villagers then vote on the player they suspect is a Werewolf. That player reveals his/her role and is out of the game.
Werewolves win when there are an equal number of Villagers and Werewolves. Villagers win when they have killed all Werewolves. Werewolf is a social game that requires no equipment to play, and can accommodate almost any large group of players.

Some of my absolute best memories come from this game. I had some epic victories, being the quet inncoent-looking one. Also it solves the player elimination issue, because it's so much fun to watch things unfold knowing who is who.
The pre-moderator version is genius, where players control the pace of their own game. Adding the mod and creating a strict structure kinda dumbs things down and makes this game last forever.
A classic game that we always played in school, every teacher had a copy and we would play it every time we finished the course topic days in advance or after exams
Mafia is the greatest game ever made. Imagine i've played 1000+ games and would happily play 1000+ more. Few things in life are as rewarding as the pure, unadulterated psychological warfare that mafia brings to a table of friends.
