Themed Storytelling
Editions.
From folklore to festival. From war stories to wisecracks. Culture takes the stage.
Each VolkHauz edition transforms the classic Mafia-style game into a cultural experience — rooted in storytelling, humour, and heritage. With original character cards, immersive narrator scripts, and handcrafted visuals, these editions bring Slavic, post-Soviet, and global folklore to life.
Our Russian folklore set introduces players to a wild village full of cunning, chaos, and charm.
