Everyone is confused! The mafia is confused. The town is confused. It’s a mess.

There’s a good chance that no one knows exactly which power roles are in play. Want to know what’s even worse than that? Roles are not revealed upon death!

On the bright side, the mafia will collapse if only one member remains.

Assigning Roles

How the GM prepares the game:

Choose a random whole number X between 6 and 12, inclusive, uniformly distributed. Then, shuffle the list of power roles, and take the top X. Combine those with 3 Mafiosos plus however many Vanilla Townies are required to match the number of players. Sort this list of roles. Shuffle the list of players and match each player with the role in the same position in the roles list.
