The old pond--
a frog jumps in,
sound of water.
A beautiful Japanese setting for this classic 'no cop' mafia game.
THE STORY
A Pond in XVIth Century's Japan. Many Japanese frogs (female) live a merry life by the Pond.
Alas. A group of Japanese stones, strongly influenced by Zen philosophy, have decided to change the lively Pond into a silent landscape, a stone garden where monks could meditate. To achieve their goals, they have started killing one living creature every night. They just... stone them.
In addition, a Japanese crane (tsuru), has recently discovered this haven for the frogs. The crane goes looking for food at night - but will not eat stones.
From time to time, an ancient male frog (kaeru) comes to the Pond to visit his old female friends and copulate. As his eyes are extremely bad, he cannot distinguish between a stone and a frog. So he will mount his target for the night and try to copulate, without knowing, in the morning, whether or not he achieved his goals. In effect, he protects his 'partner' for the night. The male kaeru cannot mount the tsuru... perverts.
To react to the threats posed by the stones and the crane, the frogs have decided to lynch someone every day. They will jump furiously on their target, then push it into the pond.
The sound of the water shall inform them whether their victim was indeed a troublemaker, or yet another innocent frog...
In this game, the Townies are the female frogs.
Their role is the following: (hey scums, that's for you):
You are a Japanese frog (female).
You win with the Town.
