This app helps people to play the mafia game. Mobile devices are used instead of cards to assign roles to players, conduct the round and other parts of the gameplay.

This android replaces the need for using playing cards for "Mafia" (the party game played by typically >10 players). Also, it eliminates the need for a person to conduct the game (i.e. "God" who puts the city to "sleep" every round) and for people for close their eyes every round.
Currently it supports a "single device" connection, which means that a device is passed around so that people can enter their names and choose a "PIN". Then, roles are assigned to them. Every round the phone has to be passed so that each person can take an action based on their selected role. Finally the app displays "city rises to death of: <person's name>". Then the people do a verbal voting and decide which person is voted out. This name is entered into the app and the next round begins the same way. When the game ends, the app displays "Mafia win" or "Non-mafia win".
GOALS:
1) Add more types of connections, like bluetooth, sms (for non android phones also), wifi, internet.
2) Add more roles to the game.
3) Localize the app, i.e. translate the app to other languages.
4) Introduce a nice framework to gather feedback from users.
