1-3
Liar(s)

1
Queen

1
King


• Nightless.
• The King's identity is revealed at the start of the day, and is, well, a King.
• Liars know who each other are, but don't have access to a PT.
• Depending on the variation you play with, the King's objective is to either:
- Safehouse the Queen, who is lovered with the King,
- Eliminate all Liars and spare the Queen, who is lovered with the King. (variation by Creature)

It has a conspiracy feel but it's distinct from conspiracy. X=1 is inferior to other 3p setups because the VT and goon would have the same wincon. X=2 and X=3 are both interesting because there are few other setups of that size. X=4 seems like a particularly challenging game and then X>4 I suspect it's not fun anymore.

This seems nifty. I don't think I've seen it before.

"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

Equivalent to Win/Lose/Banana, no?

1 Mafia Goons
1 Vanilla Townie
1 Unvotable King Innocent Child

And the IC must vote the mafia goon to win.

3 Mafia Goons
1 Vanilla Townie
1 Unvotable King Innocent Child

And the IC must vote two mafia goons to win.

5 Mafia Goons
1 Vanilla Townie
1 Unvotable King Innocent Child

And the IC must vote three mafia goons to win.

And so on all offers 50% winrate.

EDIT: I think you don't need to specify "Unvotable" for innocent child as they already fully control the lynch. Also the vanilla town would need to be renamed lover with innocent child. The wincon to scum would be to get rid of all town and they fulfill that by getting the lover lynched.

Question: does this classify as Mish Mash?

I think I would call X=2 mafia and the others mish mash (one for lacking a plural conspiring group, the other for the plural conspiring group growing larger than the uninformed group.)
