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 is 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. What is a "Multiball" setup? A Multiball setup is a setup in which more than one anti-town faction is present containing at least 2 members. The Town is usually required to lynch all the opposing Factions to achieve their Win-Condition. How are setups sorted on the MafiaWiki? -To be filled in- What are the setup sizes used on MafiaScum? Setups played on MafiaScum are always one of three sizes: Micro, Mini, or Large. Micro games contain less than 9 players, Mini games 10 to 13 players, and large games have anything above 14 players.

Information for Wiki-Contributors: A lot of work was put into organising this section of the MafiaWiki, to keep it in this state we have some standards every setup-page must live up to. Standards Each setup-page must be named the with name of the actual setup. Each setup-page must include the setup-template (See below). Each setup-page must contain all the roles and mechanics included. Any unconventional mechanics or roles must be explained on the page, or have links to other page(s) explaining them. There should be a short introduction on every setup page providing a general outline of its concept.
