The McGill Mafia Club is a social club open to anyone who wants to play or learn how to play the game “Mafia,” also known as Werewolf. Mafia is a social psychology game that pits the uninformed majority (villagers) against an informed minority (mafia). Villagers must guess who the mafia are among them while attempting to avoid being killed themselves.
In addition to playing mafia, we also play other related intrigue games such as One Night Werewolf, Two Rooms and a Boom, and The Resistance for example. There are usually snacks to go around during the meetings. Outside of our regularly scheduled gatherings, we host multiple social events a year like parties, picnics, ice skating, and trivia nights to name a few. We’re open to anyone who would like to join. Come for a meeting and try it out!
A fun club where tea drinkers can gather to study, socialize, and drink tea.

Tournaments are played at a range of difficulties and players of all skill levels are welcome! A longer explanation of Quizbowl is available here.
The wine world is a complicated and daunting place for beginner wine drinkers. Do the words Chardonnay, Merlot or Pinot Noir sound too complex, so you keep reaching for that bottle of Barefoot or Yellow Tail? This is a problem that many university students face, but the McGill Wine Society is here to solve this issue on campus. Our club was founded to help the confused college student learn more about wine, the wine industry and expand their knowledge of the beverage in a safe and inclusive environment of fellow wine enthusiasts. Cheers!
