Team Mafia Redux

[Urban Ranger]

GhengisFarb's thread reminded me a Team Mafia game I have played a long time ago. Each team includes a Don, two or more Lieutenants, and a number of Hitmen. There are also an unspecified number of Bystanders. Each team knows its own people, but won't know who are on the other team(s), and won't know who the Bystanders are.

Bystanders - cannot be killed. If a Mafia member attempts a hit on a Bystander, that person is dead instead. Knows who everybody is.

Mafia Don - can kill anybody, except a Bystander.

Mafia Lieutentant - can kill an opposing Lieutentant or hitman. Needs two or more to eliminate an opposing Don.

Mafia Hitman - can kill an opposing hitman. Needs 4 or more to rubout an opposing Don. Needs 2 or more to kill and opposing Lieutentant.

Each turn, each team orders a hit on somebody with the required number of killers. The objective is to completely eliminate the other teams.

Bystanders cannot make hits, but they can attempt to confuse the Mafia teams to make mistakes. Bystanders win if none of the Mafia team wins.

Do you use dice to determine success?

[Urban Ranger]

Nope. My belief is that forum games need to be deterministic.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Then what's the 4 or more and 2 or more?

[Spaced Cowboy]

He means that you need two or more Mafia Lieutentants to kill a Mafia Don, else he survives, AKA, the Don is a bada$$.

Sounds interesting... though good luck, at 'poly, having the Bystanders keep their mouths shut.

[Urban Ranger]

I reckon the number required depends on the team size. Right now, you need a minimum of 7 players on each side. When the team size increases, the minimum requirements, so to speak, also increases.


FlameFlash,

That's okay, nobody really trust anybody who's not on their team anyway.

[FlameFlash]

A good point.

[Rasputin]

[Tuberski]

ACK!

can I have a fire sword?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Perhaps we should just start a Mafia forum.........

[Urban Ranger]

Any feedback, comments, and suggestions on the rules?
