Triplicate Mafia

Name: Triplicate Mafia Setup Size: Micro Players: 9 Setup Type: Micro Open Micro Designer: zoraster

Triplicate Mafia is an Open, Mountainous setup for 9 players. Its unique feature is that on Day 1, players are divided into 3 groups and may only vote for other players in their group.

Setup

• 2 Mafia Goons
• 7 Townies

Mechanics

• For Day 1, each player will be randomly put into one of three groups: Avocado, Blueberry and Coconut.
  • A player may only vote for someone within their own group.
  • There will only be one mafia member in each group. There are two mafia. So two groups will have a mafia member and one will not.
  • All players may discuss one another on Day 1; they just may not vote for players in other groups.
  • Day 1 ends when EACH of the three groups has a majority on a player within their group. As such, there is only one hammer vote.
    • Until each of the three groups has a majority of votes on a player, votes may be changed as desired. This means even if two players vote for someone, they can change their votes.

• Beginning with Night 1, the game acts as a normal game would.
  • This means that on Day 2, the groups no longer matter and every player may vote for every other player or for No Elimination.
  • Mafia have a single night kill each night.

Thoughts from the Designer

• If a Mafia member is ever eliminated, that means that all other members of that group are now cleared. As such, mafia should always kill within that group.
• After Night 1, there are three possible combinations if Mafia follows the strategy above: a Town Win (if both mafia were eliminated), 3 Town vs. 2 Mafia, 4 Town (1 cleared) vs. 1 Mafia.
