Why is it absurd?
I'm quite an expert on small settings. We rarely get more than five people together.
The most fun is playing Mafia with three people. At first (when not all the moves and tricks are known), it's just a lot of fun. Of course, the rules are slightly changed for a game with three people.
P.S. I wouldn't recommend playing with just two people – it's almost not interesting.
