Made Men for Mafia Wars players
If you spent 2009 doing jobs in New York and begging your friends for energy, you already know how to play Made Men. We built it on the same loop: energy, jobs, mastery, bosses and your mafia. Here is what you’ll recognise, what works a little differently, and what’s new.
What you’ll recognise
- Energy and jobs. Jobs cost energy, energy refills while you’re away, and every level-up fills your bars again, so level-ups still come in chains.
- Mastery. Do a job again and again for three stars. Every star gives a skill point, and a district with ★★★ on every job gives its own piece of gear.
- Skill points. 3 a level, plus one for every job star and every achievement, to put into energy, stamina, health, attack or defense.
- Your mafia. Friends in your My Mafia carry your gear into fights (up to 50 of them), and Top Mafia roles give bonuses like in the old days.
- Energy Packs. Friends send you one a day each. You can use 5 a day at 25% of your bar each, 125% in all, like the old pack. A bought one fills 100% and can go over your max.
- Bosses and loot. Every district ends with a boss and his crew, 40 in all, each with a piece of gear to hunt.
- Fights, the hitlist and icing. Stamina for fights, bounties on players who wronged you, and the satisfaction of icing someone.
- Properties and collections. Buildings that earn while you’re away, and collections to finish for a bonus that lasts.
- New cities. Miami, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Havana, New Orleans, Santiago, Varadero, each with its own money, and more countries on the way.

What’s new
- Contracts (from level 10): send your crew out on a job that takes time instead of energy, and collect when you’re back.
- Smuggling (from level 20): boats, trucks and planes running goods between cities, with heat and hijacks.
- Rested energy. Energy that would have gone past a full bar while you were away is kept, up to 50% of a bar, and pays 50% more XP when you use it.
- Families. Join or found one, with its own chat, a shared bank and family levels.
- A chat on every screen. Global chat from level 5, your family, private chats with your mafia, and requests for help.
- Daily orders, the safe and the casino. Small goals every day, a safe to crack, and tables to lose your money at.
Where to start
Your first ten levels come in your first session. After that, the Your first 30 levels guide shows where to put your skill points and which jobs pay best, and the cities and bosses are all in the wiki. Then get your friends in: Made Men, like Mafia Wars, is better with a mafia.
