-A game where all of the [[roles]] are known before the [[Mafia game|game]] begins, as well as how many of each exist. (Games in which the roles are known, but the precise number of each is determined semi-randomly, are usually called "semi-open"; the best-known example would be the [[F11]] and [[C9]] setups used for [[Newbie Game]]s.) All [[rules]] are disclosed as well.
-This type of game tends to have few distinct roles, and a large number of plain [[Townie]]s to deter a [[mass roleclaim]].
-Open setups are relatively uncommon. The early [[Newbie Game]]s all used an open setup. Some other games that used an open setup are: [[Don't Be Stupid]], the [[Roleless Mafia]] minis, and [[The Old Pond]]. An open setup game is usually classified as a [[Normal Game]], as they typically use standard roles and [[game mechanics]].
-An important feature of open setups is repeatability. Since the game experience doesn't include discovering what the setup is, nothing is lost by playing the game multiple times. In contrast, closed setups would not play the same way a second time, and many may not even be playable a second time due to an increased vulnerability to [[roleclaim]]ing.
-Another effect of an open setup is that players that need to lie about their role (such as Mafia) have no need (or ability) to come up with creative role claims. And naturally, the [[pro-town]] players have no need to evaluate role claims, or speculate about the nature of the setup.
