Shortlisted Setups


These are the setups I am particularly interested in seeing playtested; at some point, we will have a vote among some subset of these to determine a winner for the challenge (who will received a free copy of the card deck).

<snip>
13 Player: Untitled
- by Jackal711

1 Mafia Roleblocker
2 Mafia Goons
1 Vigilante
1 Cop
1 Bodyguard
7 Vanilla Town

If you have further setup ideas, please post them in the challenge thread linked above. The winner for the challenge will be awarded from the above, but if there is something particularly outstanding that comes in late I reserve the right to award a second prize!


A game of this will be run as soon as a game currently in progress that involves half my playerlist ends. I need 4 more players to fill.

I think it was a good test of the setup. Game ended with a Town victory during Night 3 thanks to the Vig.

I'll run it again tomorrow evening (Saturday).

I apologize this is a week late, been having trouble with my internet access.

I ran 2 games of my setup:
Not Yet Named, by Jackal711 wrote:
7 Vanilla Town
Town Vig
Town Cop
Town Bodyguard
1 Mafia Roleblocker
2 Mafia Goon


went to Town during Night 3.

It started poorly, with a VT lynch Day 1 and 2 VT deaths (mafia + vig) during Night 1.
The cop though got lucky and investigated a scum player.

The found scum, who happened to be the Roleblocker, was quickly lynched Day 2. The interesting part is the cop never had to claim cop, just stated at start of day "X is scum" and was able to push the wagon to lynch.
Night 2 resulted in the Vig shooting another Mafia, and the Bodyguard dying in place of the Mafia kill target. The cop investigated a townie.

The game ended Night 3 when the Vig got lucky and targeted the last Mafia member with their kill. The Mafia kill that night was aimed at the same target as Night 2, who was a VT.

.. was crazy.

The second running lasted 6 days and was won by the Mafia who survived double LyLo to do so.
The beginning of Town's downfall was the Vig got lynched Day 1.
Day 2 was good for town, as they lynched a Goon.
The Bodyguard died Night 2 protecting the Cop, who wound up dead Night 3.
Day 5 was 5p LyLo. Town managed to lynch the remaining Goon.
Day 6, 3p LyLo. The remaining Mafia was able to wait it out for one townie to vote another then quickhammer for the win.

Overall I think the setup seems balanced and got a good test. The games do show how vital the Vig can be to town's success.

Many of the players involved played both games, so I'd appreciate if they could offer their thoughts.
