How this deal plays
Still nine players, but now the game is about evidence. There is no Doctor in this deal, so every kill lands — and the City has to make each death pay. The Coroner reads the cards of the dead. The Policeman checks the living. The Duelist is a trap that punishes both a night visit and a rushed trial. Against all that, the Mafia fields only one Assassin — but a Lawyer to shield the guilty from trial, and an Enforcer to silence the accusers.
The deal: who gets which cards
The Mafia
Mafia
Shuffle exactly these cards for 9 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.
-
01
Assassin
One killer, one victim — and no Doctor to stop it.
-
02
Policeman
Checks one player's team each night. With no Mastermind in this deal, the answer is always true.
-
03
Lawyer
Picks the Mafia's client. That player cannot be put on trial tomorrow.
-
04
Enforcer
Points at a player and shows the host speak or vote. That right is gone for the next day.
-
05
Coroner
Once someone is dead, views one dead player's card each night.
Tips for this deal
If you are City
Cross-check everything. The Coroner can confirm or destroy a dead player's claims, and the cop's checks pile up fast against only three Mafia cards. But remember: nobody is saving you. Talk too loudly about what you know and you will not see the next dawn.
If you are Mafia
You have one killer, so protect them. A well-timed Lawyer pick makes your Assassin untouchable on a dangerous day, and the Enforcer can strip the vote from whoever is getting too close.
If you are hosting
No Mistress here, so open the night with the Assassin. Mind the Duelist: he duels any enemy who visits him at night, and a vote against him becomes a duel with one of his voters. Resolve his card as printed, not as a normal death.
The exact trial counts, and what happens when a vote lands on the Duelist, are in the mafia game rules.
