Scales of Justice

Scales of Justice is an Open setup not unlike Pick Your Poison, in that both factions play active roles in selecting the game's Power Roles.

It was designed by Hoopla and Quilford.

Setup

• 2 Mafia Goons
• 7 Townies

Mechanics

During the Pregame, the Mafia select one of the following roles to replace a random Goon's:

• Mafia Strongman
• Mafia Godfather
• Mafia Ninja

Then, during Day 0, via majority vote, all players choose which of the following roles replace two random Townies':

• Cop
• Tracker
• Watcher
• Roleblocker
• Doctor

Roles are then distributed as necessary and play proceeds as normal.

The game is a Daystart and no actions can be submitted on the first Night (Night 0).
