Stack the Deck

Stack the Deck is an open game with 13 players, created as a Pick Your Poison and C9++ hybrid. As of May 2013 it is in a trial phase.

Setup

• 2 Mafia Goon
• 1 Mafia Traitor
• 9 Town

Mechanics

• Day start
• Role Modifications

Modifications

During pre-game, mafia have 72 hours to select which (if any) of the modifications they want to their team. A maximum of three modifications may be selected.

• Bulletproof
• Role Cop
• JOAT (1 shot Strongman, 1 shot Ninja)
• Daytalk (passive ability)
• Recruit Traitor as Mafia Goon

For each modification that is selected by the mafia, town gains an additional role as well. The town has two roles to start, resulting in a maximum of five town roles randomly selected from the following:

• Goon Cop
• Roleblocker
• Tracker
• Bodyguard
• Vigilante
• Innocent Child (reveal at start of day one)

The following things should be noted by mods:

• At the beginning of the game all town aligned players receive a "Vanilla Town" role. Once mafia has selected their abilities all town roles go out. This prevents claims of "received roles before/after mafia modifications".
• No player may receive more than one role/modification
• The mafia traitor may not receive any abilities if not recruited as well.
