Mafia Anchor
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mafia Anchor is the moderator's seat at the table. If you host Mafia, you know the job: remember who is out, who was healed, who has strikes, who was nominated, whose turn it is to open the discussion, and how long that discussion has left. All while eleven people talk over you. Mafia Anchor holds every bit of it so you can run the round instead of bookkeeping it. One phone, passed around one table. No accounts, no sign-up, no connection needed. WHAT IT KEEPS TRACK OF - 4 to 20 players across eight roles: Civilian, Detective, Doctor, Mafia, Don, Serial Killer, Shogun and Yakuza - A discussion timer you can stretch or shorten mid-round - Healed and eliminated marked with a tap, with strikes counted for you - Nominations and the vote that follows, including a second round when it ties - A full log of every strike, heal, nomination and elimination - Undo on any of it, because mis-taps happen when the room is loud LET THE APP DEAL THE ROLES Leave every role blank and Mafia Anchor builds a balanced set for your headcount, with a one-tap Shogun and Yakuza swap. Prefer to assign them yourself? Do that instead — it is a per-game choice, not a setting. PASS THE PHONE TO REVEAL Each player sees their own role and nobody else's: a handover screen with their name on it, hold to reveal, release to hide. A closing card hands the phone back to you, so no one is left holding the moderator's screen. WHO SPEAKS FIRST The app remembers who opened the last discussion and moves it along one place each round, so the same person never always starts. Long-press a player to set it by hand. BUILT FOR THE ROOM YOU ARE IN The layout adapts to phones and tablets, portrait and landscape. ENGLISH AND GEORGIAN Switch language at any moment, from any screen. Mafia Anchor is free. Starting a game spends coins — you begin with enough for your first game, and can earn more by watching a short rewarded video.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mafia Anchor at none against Games Keeper's 1. Mafia Anchor also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). Games Keeper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
