How this deal plays

Two Policemen, two checks a night — and a Mastermind in the dark, which means one of those answers can be a lie and neither cop knows which nights he was fooled. The City has to audit its own information: the Coroner's reads of the dead are always true, the Oracle's death-reveal is always true, and any check that disagrees with a body is a check worth doubting. The Lawyer and the Mistress buy the killers time while the table argues with itself.

The deal: who gets which cards

Shuffle exactly these cards for 18 or more living players, plus one host, and deal one face down to each person. Look at your card once, hide it, and say whatever you like for the rest of the game — the card is the only proof of anything.

Night order for this setup

The host calls these wakes in this order, every night, reading from a written list. Skip nothing, rush nothing — the spoken lines are on the mafia game narrator script.

  1. 01

    Mistress

    First wake. One player's night ability is cancelled before it happens.

  2. 02

    Assassins

    The two Assassins and the Mastermind hunt together: one victim, agreed in silence.

  3. 03

    Doctor

    Heals one player. Not herself two nights in a row.

  4. 04

    Policemen

    Both wake together. Each points at a player — but a check on the Mastermind comes back a lie.

  5. 05

    Lawyer

    Marks the client who cannot be put on trial tomorrow.

  6. 06

    Oracle

    Marks a player each night. If the Oracle dies, the moderator reveals the last mark's role.

  7. 07

    Coroner

    Views one dead player's card, once there is a body to read.

Tips for this deal

If you are City

Checks disagreeing with corpses is the tell this deal turns on. When the Coroner's read contradicts what a cop was shown, you have found the Mastermind's shadow — follow it.

If you are Mafia

The Mastermind should stand where the checks will find him and let the lie do the work. Two cleared readings on the same killer will split the two cops against each other.

If you are hosting

Deliver true and false answers identically — same pause, same face, to either cop. Then track the Lawyer's client, the Mistress's cancel, and the Oracle's mark on your pad.

The dead vote once at the Final Witness in this deal — and the dead, unlike the lamps, saw everything.
