Goal Mafia is a social game with a purpose
Rise through the Mafia hierarchy by setting and achieving your real-life goals.
Goal Mafia may not be appropriate for you if:
- You have already achieved everything you could possibly achieve in your life.
- You are Richard Branson (see point #1).
- You don't set goals, because if you set a goal there's a chance you might fail. And you never fail. Ever.
- You would idenfity yourself as a nihilist, but really, what's the point?
If you don't fall into any of the above categories, please consult our handy comparison chart below to determine which type of mafia is best suited for your unique needs.
