I call it sealed deck mafia - losely basing it on a sealed deck game of magic the gathering.
I created 34 different "role cards" split into 3 basic rarities. Certain cards, like 1-shot cop, are common. Certain cards, like watcher, are uncommon. Certain cards, like vig, are rare. There's also cards like Mafia, Cult, and SK - which are a different rarity - each of these cards would be assigned separately and only 1 to each of the right balance of people.
The rest of the role cards (3 of each common, 2 of each uncommon, 1 of each rare) would be "shuffled and dealt" secretly to each of the players. Each person would have a "deck" of 3 cards. Non-town roles would only have 2 "cards" since they would have their own role card.
Each night every person gets one action, and each day every person gets one action. You can use a card for your action, or you can draw a card for your action. Some cards go away after they are used (most common cards) some cards stay and can be used multiple times (on different nights or days).
I'm not sure yet if I would want to make it so each person gets 1 common, 1 uncommon and 1 rare, or if I should make it more up to chance.. but I think I have all the cards figured out
I know I have to run other games before I can run a crazy game like this - but what do people think of the concept?
possibly I'll upload soon, but they have very specific themes, may not be useful.
