For large groups of 20 or more players, it is often interesting to have 2 separate, competing groups of mafia and play the game with 2 night cycles. These 2 sets of mafia will be working to kill the townspeople and their rival mafia members. He was walking down the street, minding his own business. A black car came and someone shot him. No one knows who did it. Not Helpful 11 Helpful No, this is mafia win. Any time there are equal numbers of mafia and town members left alive, the win should go to the mafia.
There are no draws in this game. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Not Helpful 21 Helpful Ashley Bao. Write the roles on the slips of paper, fold them in half, and have each person randomly pick a slip. This works great when you don't have a deck of cards on hand. Not Helpful 3 Helpful If a member of the mafia is eliminated by the sheriff, do they leave the game? And if the person killed by mafia is not saved by the doctor, do they leave the game? The game ends when all mafia are killed.
The mafia can't be killed by the sheriff. The sheriff can only find out if they are a member, then without revealing they are the sheriff, try to persuade everyone else to vote for the member. If someone is killed, they leave the game until the next game.
Not Helpful 18 Helpful Can the sheriff say, "I am the sheriff and I accused this person. However, since you're allowed to lie about your role at any time, other people might not believe you. Fortunately, there's an easy way to convince people you're the sheriff.
If accused, say something like, "I'm not the mafia, I'm the sheriff. I investigated X, and found them to be the mafia. Lynch them, and if they weren't the mafia, kill me next round. If you're still accused, ask if anyone else is the sheriff. The person you accused will probably lie and say they're the sheriff.
Not Helpful 9 Helpful It varies based on how many people you have, with about five it can take minutes, with about ten it could take minutes, depending on how many mafia members you have.
However, it could confuse the villagers and take them off your scent. Not Helpful 2 Helpful You can't, unless of course you make an alliance with other people, or if you add some of the extra roles. Do I just complete the steps and leave out the cards if I don't want to play with the cards? Yes, you just need the moderator to tell everyone their role and it will be fine.

A good strategy is to watch the expressions of others when they look at their card. Many people may look slightly disappointed if they don't end up being a mafia member. Don't try to resort to random accusations in the first round. This is the best time to judge people's behavior. Also, look at who seems to be sure of the identities of certain people— they might be the mafia. Keep close track of who accuses whom, who supports whom, etc. Later in the game, there might be a stage where everybody is puzzling to figure out who can be mafia, and knowing each player's voting record can help a lot.

The assassinations are done as quietly as possible and preferably away from others and the one being assassinated has to be "alone", and not walking with a friend.
Being quiet about it also is good as you don't want to tip off anyone else that you are "in the game". Remember, you are not supposed to know who else is actually playing. Who knows your "friend" may be your "enemy"! As this is a camp, assassignations are also not allowed to take place in the dining room or in the main lodge. Anywhere else on the island,players are fair game. This game is a lot of fun and no violence is involved.
It's great to win, although there usually aren't any prizes - but you could always add a prize when YOU play! It automatically assigns everyone a target and has a live "kill feed" of who has died. We used to play this in High School. Once a year our gym teacher would give us each a name to go after. It had to be on school property, not in a classroom during class, but all else was fair game.
Throw in the mix that we had 4 "houses" -like harry potter- and students and it was a blast. Reply 13 years ago on Introduction. There's always next year! I just got back from camp and there were over 50 participants.

Back in the 's Steve Jackson Games put out a rule book for a game very similar to this game that you have described. Great game, but not an original idea. Reply 12 years ago on Introduction. The game works as if everyone is in a big circle, and you're assigned to kill the person to your right.
Eventually, you're down to two people, and one will succeed in killing the other before the other gets their kill accomplished. Hence, assuming you are the first of those last two and not the other, you win.
I doubt there is a so called "original" game or sport in the world these days. At this stage of the game the Mafia know who each other are, but no-one else knows anyone else's role.
The game then moves on to the first Lynch-Mob round. All players who are still alive participate in this round. The goal is to select one player who will be killed "lynched". This is achieved by a player suspecting someone else as being a Mafia, and a vote being held. If the vote fails, another player can be suggested for lynching. If the vote succeeds, though, the player is killed.
This requires the player to reveal their originally dealt card, and they can no longer participate in the game, except to act as a "caller". Caller: Assassin up and kill.
The Assassin puts his head up and points at the target. Caller: Assassin down. The Assassin puts his head back down. The "caller" then identifies the target, who is now considered killed. As in the Lynch-Mob round, this requires the player to reveal their originally dealt card, and they can no longer participate in the game, except to act as a "caller".
