VolkHauz — Cultural Game 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.

  • Vasilisa the Fair — sees through deception
  • Kolobok — the runaway bun who evades elimination
