Facebook Mafia Wars - What is Mafia Wars

So What Is Mafia Wars ?

The basic idea behind Mafia Wars is simple. Start your Mafia family, Run 3 kinds of crime business and eventually try to rule all of New York City. OK, great, so how do you do this? Well one of the biggest flaws in the game is there really is no guide or directions. Your kinda left hanging with this but, most people will pick it up pretty quick.

Your 2 main goals are pretty simple, grow your family and level up. Recruit as many people into your mafia family to gain strength. You want as many people doing jobs for the family as well as a lot of people for fights. The more people you have the better off you are. Recruiting is pretty simple, first invite your friends and after that there are loads of places on Facebook to find new recruits. Remember, to have someone in your mafia family you will have to make them your friend on facebook.

You level up by doing various jobs and winning fights. As you increase in level you will have the opportunity to gain more properties, better weapons and other inventory items as well as earn money.


The game itself is really addictive once you start. You will find yourself signing in just to see if you made any money or if anything new has happened. IT can get crazy but all in all it's a lot of fun. To start playing just do a search for Mafia Wars on Facebook. It is also available for yahoo and MySpace and I am pretty sure the iphone now too.
