The Setups Portal:
A setup is a combination of Power Roles and/or mechanics used in a game of Mafia. Each setup brings it's own strategies and approaches, allowing players to tailor the game to their tastes. The almost endless amount of possibilities is one of the things that makes Mafia such a unique game. In this portal you will find a large collection of setups, ready to be used for your own purposes.

There are currently 287 setups on the MafiaWiki.

F.A.Q.

What's the difference between an "Open" and "Closed" setup?

An Open Setup is a setup in which the players know all the roles and mechanics present in the game they are playing. A Closed Setup is a setup in which the players do not have this information. The roles in a closed setup are chosen before the game starts by a Moderator, and are oft reviewed by peers for balance. Moderators tend to vary which roles they utilise and how as to refrain from being predictable. At present, the MafiaWiki only documents open setups. Running an open setup as closed is theoretically possible, but normally a bad idea due to various balance reasons.

You may notice we also have a third type of setup on the wiki however: Semi-Open Setups. These are setups in which the players know that certain specific roles may be in the game, but not which ones their game contains.

How are setups sorted on the MafiaWiki?
