Feburary 2021

Hello everyone!

Mafia42 would like to wish you a happy new year! 🧡 You may be thinking, "it's February, Mafia42! What do you mean happy new year?!". As many of you already know, we are a Korean company, and we celebrate Lunar New Year. This Year, we welcome the Ox and it is time to say goodbye to the Mouse. Although we hear that the Mouse is not yet ready to leave and devised up a new scheme to stay a bit longer... so what is happening?

■ **Yut Nori Mini-game Event**

* The White Mouse, wanting to stay longer, has convinced the White Ox to play Yut Nori, a traditional Korean board game, as part of a bet. Using the game pieces, become the two Earthly spirits and, in return, get generous rewards for your hard efforts!
* Before the game begins, each player can 'Set Deck' to strategize their deck slots.
* You can select two duel cards to create your deck. (You cannot use Lovers cards).
* If the equipped cards are used to enhance other cards or exchanged, they will automatically be unequipped.
* After setting your deck, you can begin the game by using your coins.
* If you press 'Random Match,' you will be paired randomly with another player. If you press 'Duo Match', you can invite your friends currently available from your friend list and online in the Event Channel.
* The game will be a 2:2 team fight, and each player will start with two pieces each.
* At your turn, you can adjust the power gauge to throw the Yut and move your pieces accordingly to the outcome.
* You can throw again if you get Yut or Mo. You can throw up to three times in one turn.
* You can catch the opponent's piece when you land on their space. The captured piece is removed from the board and sent back to the starting point.
* If you end up landing in a space with you or your ally's piece, you will carry their piece and move together. There are no limits to how many pieces you can carry.
* The higher tier your card is, the higher your skill's activation possibility.
* The player who has both their pieces go around the board and return to the finish line and escape the board, wins!
* The players will receive one or two **Fragments of the Holy Bead** depending on the game's result. If you gather six Fragments of the Holy Bead and put them in one of the Lucky Bags, you can receive a generous reward.
* You can use the Lucky Bag you already own. The rewards will depend on the changed probability of the Lucky Bag.

■ New Skin Added

* New Skin "Mouse: The Judge of Light and Darkness Mentalist Skin" and "Ox: The Chosen Follower Fanatic Skin" has been added. Acquire these skins through the Yut Nori Event!

■ New Package added

* The Season 8 Package and Mentalist Package has come to an end.
* However, there are new Guardian Packages available!

■ Game Mode Rotation Announcement - Lovers Survival Mode

* There is now a new game mode: Lovers Survival Mode.
* Sketch Mode will no longer be available.

■ 222 Event (~2021 February 15th 14:59) (UTC)

* For the first time, during the 222 Event, charged lunas will be doubled!
* The free luna charging station will also give you double the lunas!
* Rubles and Experiences earned during gameplay will also be, you guessed it, doubled!

■ Edit Balance

* The Thief's **[Kleptomania]** skill is changing! Previously, a thief can steal a player's occupation he chose during a vote and use their abilities until the next daytime. Now, there will be chat bubble icons next to the chatboxes. Pressing that button will allow the Theif to steal their skills. Although stolen skills will be available to use right away, you cannot steal skills from dead players. You will be able to establish contact with Mafiosos.
* **Thief: Once a day, you can select the player using their chat bubble and use their skills until night time. If the player is a mafioso, you can establish contact with the mafia team.**
* **[Cryptogram]** skill is changing! If you type (.) at the beginning of your chat text, only team members you have already established contact with will be able to read your chat. It is available during the day time too! To keep it fair, if a player accidentally types more than two (.) in front of their text, their messages will be exposed to all players.
* **[Cryptogram]: You can always send messages that can only be seen by your team members.**
* The Cop and the Spy's **[Autopsy]** skill will be changed so players can gain more information. Spies can establish contact but can also be caught by the Soldier.
* **Cop [Autopsy]: Whenever a player dies, the Cop can perform [Autopsy] and learn if they were a Mafioso or not.**
* **Spy [Autopsy]: Whenever a player dies, the Thief can perform [Rendesvouz] and learn if they were a Mafioso or not.**
* The Hostess's [Seduce] skill used to be ineffective when the Hostess was lynched by the majority vote. However, even if the Hostess dies, the [Seduce] skill will be activated for the full day.
* **Even if the Hostess is killed, [Seduce] skill is effective for the full day.**

That's all for this update! We wish you luck and hope you have a great 2021 with Mafia42! 😊✨
