Друзья. По просьбам некоторых участников в дополнение к нашей регулярной встрече на Baker Street мы организуемся на вечер настольных игр в следующую среду. The Globe London - Baker Street (напротив Metropolitan Bar Across - right across the road). Расписания - собираемся в 7 часов вечера. С 7:15 вечера начинаем играть в Coup c правил - Переворот (по сути упрощенная мафия). Правила внизу. Играем до 8 человек за одним столом. Также будут шахматы; шашки, и карты. Вы можете принести любую другую настольную игру на вечер. Если наберем полную команду - можем сыграть * и* в Мафию:) Cтоимость: £5 (cо своей настольной игрой) - £10. Оплата наличными или по переводу через ссылку. https://monzo.me/vartanzahorodnykov?h=PVH_ma&account_type=personal Присоединяйтесь к нашей главной русскоязычной Whatsapp группе по ссылке внизу. https://chat.whatsapp.com/KIYzVJMsvRF2CtdPf8a8Qe?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4&ilr=4&iam=2 **Суть игры** **«Переворот»** — это динамичная настольная игра на блеф, дедукцию и борьбу за власть. * **Цель:** Остаться последним выжившим игроком, уничтожив влияние (карты) всех остальных соперников. **Подготовка и базовые правила** * **Влияние:** Каждый игрок получает **2 карты персонажей втёмную** (это ваше влияние) и **2 монеты**. * **Потеря влияния:** Если вы теряете карту, вы переворачиваете её лицом вверх. Она считается «мёртвой» и теряет силу. Когда открыты обе ваши карты — вы выбываете из игры. * **Главное правило блефа:** Вы можете заявить, что у вас есть **абсолютно любая карта**, и использовать её способность. Говорить правду необязательно, но любой соперник может усомниться в ваших словах и бросить вам **«Вызов»**. **Ход игры** В свой ход игрок выполняет **одно** из действий. Общие действия блокировать или оспорить нельзя. Действия и противодействия персонажей — можно. **1\. Общие действия \(доступны всем\)** * **Доход:** Взять 1 монету из казны. *(Нельзя заблокировать или оспорить).* * **Иностранная помощь:** Взять 2 монеты из казны. *(Может заблокировать Герцог).* * **Переворот:** Заплатить 7 монет в казну. Выбранный вами игрок *обязан* сразу потерять 1 карту влияния.*(Нельзя заблокировать или оспорить).* * *Важно:* Если перед началом хода у вас **10 или более монет**, вы **обязаны** совершить Переворот. **Действия и роли персонажей** * **Герцог (Duke)** * **Действие (Налог):** Взять 3 монеты из казны. * **Противодействие:** Блокирует получение «Иностранной помощи». * **Убийца (Assassin)** * **Действие (Убийство):** Заплатить 3 монеты, чтобы атаковать игрока. Он теряет 1 карту влияния. * **Противодействие:** Нет. * **Капитан (Captain)** * **Действие (Кража):** Украсть 2 монеты у любого игрока (или 1, если у него больше нет). * **Противодействие:** Блокирует кражу другого Капитана. * **Посол (Ambassador)** * **Действие (Обмен):** Взять 2 карты из колоды, посмотреть их, смешать со своими скрытыми картами и вернуть 2 любые карты обратно в колоду. * **Противодействие:** Блокирует кражу Капитана. * **Графиня (Contessa)** * **Действие:** Нет. * **Противодействие:** Блокирует попытку «Убийства». **Вызов и Блокировка** Когда игрок объявляет действие персонажа или пытается что-то заблокировать, любой другой игрок может крикнуть **«Не верю!» (Вызов)** или **«Блок!»**. **Вызов («Не верю!»)** Проверка на блеф: * **Если ходивший солгал:** Он открывает одну из своих карт (теряет влияние). Его действие отменяется. * **Если ходивший сказал правду:** Он показывает нужную карту, замешивает её в колоду и берет новую карту втёмную. Бросивший вызов игрок теряет 1 карту влияния. Заявленное действие выполняется. **Блок (Противодействие)** Защитная реакция (например, объявление Графини для защиты от Убийцы): * Заявление о Блоке **также можно оспорить** с помощью Вызова. * Если никто не бросил вызов Блоку, действие атакующего отменяется, но карты никто не теряет. **Как победить** Следите за монетами, запоминайте вышедшие карты, читайте эмоции соперников и грамотно блефуйте.Побеждает единственный игрок, у которого осталась хотя бы одна закрытая карта! Есть вопросы пишите в личку - охотно ответим в здесь или в Whatsapp/Telegram/SMS

Have you ever wanted to gather together and talk about insightful topics which broadens your thinking and knowledge? If so, this may be the right event for you. Welcome to the ‘Deep conversations’ event where you get the opportunity to share your views based on the topics that we may cover. The last time this was executed, it not only went well but we managed to learn from one another which broadened our thinking. With this particular event, the topics we’ll discuss are: * Have you played video games and if so, what’s your views on it? * Do you think video games can educate you better than school can? * Do you think video games teach you about the real world and what it really is? * Name me one of your favourite video games you played and why it was phenomenal? We get so preoccupied with daily life that we hardly have a chance to sit back and think as well as discuss many topics in such depth. When was the last time you sat back and thought about anything in depth which opened your eyes to so many possibilities and broadened your thinking? Now is your chance to share your views and learn from one another. By participating in this, you could broaden your ways of thinking, learn new lessons or even heal if you have your hidden struggles. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy WHAT - Deep conversations WHERE - Knoops https://maps.app.goo.gl/C1seByEDErKHvAps8?g_st= WHEN - 5pm - 7pm MEETING POINT - inside Knoops NEAREST STATION - Sloane Square station REQUIREMENTS - Just your good behaviour and respect on one’s opinions.

If you do mark yourselves as going, don’t change your RSVP and don’t attend, the next time another event such as this takes place and you rsvp, you will be marked as ‘not going’ as it’s possible you may make commit the same action.

Mafia Games & Social - London Waterloo!

Tue, Nov 10, 6:00 PM

From UK Mafia Club - Social Deduction Game

4.9

Welcome to Mafia Games (and Social) London Waterloo! Come and play a few games of Mafia, meet new people and have a fun evening with us! If you’ve never played before, you are very welcome. We’ll teach you when you arrive, and you’ll soon get into it :) 📍 **Where?** The Hercules, 2 Kennington Rd, Lambeth, London SE1 7BL — Carousel Room (Second Floor) or the Snug Room 🕕 **When?** We meet at 18:00. **Coming on your own?** You are very welcome! This is a social event as much as a games evening. You’ll meet people around the table, and between games there’s time to chat, get to know each other and discuss who you probably shouldn’t have trusted… Bring a friend or come and make some here! **Do I need to know anything beforehand?** Just come along! This is a casual, beginner-friendly event, and many of you will be playing with us for the first time. We’ll explain the rules and help you through your first game. You’ll get to play several games, so there’s plenty of time to learn, try things and surprise yourself. Most importantly, this is a social activity, so feel free to talk to anyone between the games and have fun! **What is Mafia?** Have you seen *The Traitors*? Come and play the game it’s based on! Mafia is a 10-player social game of secret roles, deduction and deciding who to trust. The Mafia know who their teammates are and try to hide among the Citizens. The Citizens have to work out who the Mafia are… while the Mafia try to look very helpful :) Each game lasts around 45 minutes, and we play at multiple tables. It can get competitive, but it’s easy to learn, and every new game gives you a fresh role, a fresh start and another chance to figure everyone out! *** **How do we play?** We’ll teach you at the venue, but here’s the idea: 🌙 **Night** * The Mafia secretly choose a player to eliminate. * The Don, who is on the Mafia team, checks whether a player is the Sheriff. * The Sheriff, who is on the Citizens’ team, checks whether a player is Mafia. ☀️ **Day** * Each player gets a turn to speak: share your suspicions, defend someone, ask people to trust you… whether they should is another question! * Everyone then votes publicly to eliminate a player. The Citizens win by finding and eliminating all the Mafia. The Mafia win when they equal or outnumber the Citizens. You’ll pick it up as we play. Questions are always welcome! If you’d like a look beforehand, we have brochures, videos and other useful resources here: [Mafia tips and resources](https://bit.ly/EMF-TIPS). *** **And if you get hooked… ✈️** Mafia is played around the world, with local clubs, international tournaments and a whole community to get to know. Alongside our beginner-friendly socials, we host tournaments and online events with more experienced players from around the world. Some of us travel abroad to play too! Ask us about our online games, trips and the Mafia World Cup — there’s plenty to get involved in if you enjoy it. ❓ **Any questions? Message any admin, anytime!** You can also [watch games and lessons here](https://www.youtube.com/@MafiaWorldCup/streams). **Keep in touch with UK Mafia Club** * [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/uk_mafia_club/) * [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@UKMafiaClub) * [Telegram Channel](https://t.me/UK_MAFIA_CLUB) * [Telegram Chat](https://t.me/UK_MAFIA_CLUB_CHAT) * [Discord](https://discord.gg/fQM7duV96D) **Follow the Mafia World Cup** * [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/mafiaworldcup/) * [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/mafworldcup/) * [Telegram](https://t.me/Mafia_World_Cup) See you around the table! :)
