All of us might have experienced the application Mafia Wars on Facebook, created by Zynga. For those of you, who still have not yet got addicted to the taste of this app on Facebook, here is a guide on how to play this ultimate amusement package :

- Firstly, you need to get a Facebook account and then add the application. At the beginning of this game, you will be provided with good health and energy, along with $3000 cash. But you shall only be a minor thief. You need to build your experience at the game to climb up to the top level of the crime world.
- If your experience increases, you shall be given points and your level shall increase. By this, you shall access more inventory items and face new jobs. But new jobs do cost energy, which you should preserve for the later part of the game (atleast 2004-400), as this shall make you less vulnerable, and faster increase in level and EXP.
- You get to pick your character, either a money mogul or a mafia member of the action type. You are able to even purchase property for your mafia operations to get on the roll, as you shall get cash to buy weapons. One advice is to buy the properties in blocks of 10, as price increases for each successive block.
- When you shall have sufficient wealth, you should concentrate on buying larger properties, which guarantees larger income. Even when you are not logged in to the game, the income increases every hour.
- Concentrate on jobs with more experience points, as this shall increase your rank fast in the crime world.
- Fighting with other players is another way to move up faster. But you should keep in mind that fighting will increase the EXP of other players. Thus weaker opponents and opponents with fewer points should not be attacked.
- If a weaker member is annoying you, do not hit him. A crew member is to be used to punch him on the face, and this shall cause 1-2 loss of points, which is much less compared to increased cash or EXP of opponents.
- You should grow your family by inviting more friends to the game, as this shall cause more income and more strength in fights.
- You must keep a watch on upgrades. You can upgrade on Attack, Strength, Defence Strength, Maximum Energy, Maximum Health and Stamina. You must concentrate on upgrades based on strategy.
- Attack, Stamina, Defence and Health are important in matters related to fighting, whereas Energy shall be necessary for doing the jobs.
There is no hard and fast rule on the technique to be followed to play the Mafia Wars on Facebook, but the general guidelines of the game are that you need to protect your family, fight against some evil doers, buy weapons, loot property, etc. all required for the rising in the crime scene.
One necessary requirement of this game is time, as it is addictive, and almost 2 million people have already got fastened to this famous game! But whatever be the case, if it interests you, then you can try the game out atleast once!
