"I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the colour of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think"


Active Rule


Active Goal
None.



Welcome! This is a small Mafia game for just 9 11 players (8 town, 2 mafia, 1 survivor), with some mechanics thrown on top of traditional Mafia playing. We've based it in the Star variant of the Fluxx card game - a fast paced game where rules and victory conditions change all the time at the whim of the players, and where screwing over everyone else IS part of the fun.

Modteam for this one is me, Maerlyn, wologar (thanks for the card design work!) and Grandicap.

In this game, everyone is vanilla, and will be handed a private initial hand of two cards. Those are one-use, and can be day or night actions, depending on what you got! At the end of every night phase, an additional card is dealt to all living players. There are ways to get more cards, but we will go in depth on those later.

While this is not exactly an open setup in the strictest sense, the full deck of cards is public and listed below. This doesn't mean all of those will get played or handled, depending on game length, and what the players themselves decide to do. If we run out of cards, the discard pile will be reshuffled and used to keep the game going!

Wait. Victory condition changes? Is there bastard moddery afoot?

No. While it could be fun to win based on what was played at every time, this is still first of all a Mafia game. Fulfilling Goals will give you permanent advantages, but you still win or lose depending on your original win condition.



To play a public day card, players must use ##play rule / ##play goal / ##play surprise and directly quote the text on the card (or link the image), which becomes active from that point onwards. Actions with no card attached will not count as anything. Modifying the text in any way will count as falsifying a day action, and will be acted upon as such.

Night cards are played in each player's confessional, and we don't need the full quote - just let us know clearly what you are doing, and it'll be enough.

Cards that are discarded, either upon being used (Actions, Keepers, or Surprises), countered (Actions and Goals) or phased out by a phase change (Creepers, and any Goal or Action in play at the end of a day) go into a discard pile. If the deck runs out of cards, the discard pile gets shuffled and replayed.

There are no limits on how many cards a player can play by day, and only one can be played by night, unless the limit gets modified in some way. The factional night kill is exempt from this limit, and does not count towards it.

Goal meeting, penalties, boons, and card drawing are private; the player will receive cards or play them according to the boons they have, but those are not announced to the rest of the players.



All day actions are public and must be announced in thread, with a link to the card or a quote of the text.

- Rules: Contain posting restrictions that players must follow. Only one rule can be active at any time. A random rule will be played at the start of each day. Any player can remove the current rule by playing a new rule of their own or by playing the Lawlessness surprise card.

At EoD, all posters that ignored more rules than they followed will not draw cards the next day. Ties are resolved in favor of the player. For example, if three rules were played, you need to have followed at least two to be able to draw cards; for six, you need three.



Rule cards can only be played until two hours before deadline. Players that do not post after the last rule is played are not affected by it. This way you won't be punished by someone playing a rule near a deadline that you can't be there for.

If a card rule says "Your next post must contain..." there will be a 30 min leniency period before it becomes compulsory. This is to account for people not refreshing the thread before posting. You can still fulfill it before the 30 minutes are up, but you won't get a penalty if you miss it during this time. Reading the thread to the end before posting is encouraged!

- Goals: Optional objectives that, if met, will grant a boon to all players that do meet it. Only one can be active at any time, and they can be countered by playing a different Goals card. You can play goals all the way to deadline, but watch it - goals played after someone is hammered do not count!



Only the goal card active at the end of a given day counts for the boon; goals that are played and discarded have no recompense attached.

Each time you met an EoD Goal, you may choose one of those two boons. They are permanent, and can be chosen more than once. Boons are requested and given privately, so no one knows if you fulfilled a goal, or what did you choose as a boon.
    Play one extra action each night.
    Draw one extra card each day.
- Surprises: Surprises counter other cards. Become active immediately, unless they affect a Rule - for this case, they are subjected to the same "two hours to deadline" restriction.



- Creepers: Creepers autoplay when drawn, and exclusively affect the player that drew them. Player gets a drawback that affects them the following night. Creeper effects are private, and will be told about in the player's confessional.





Night actions are private, and only one per player is allowed to start with (unless this limit is modified in any way). The NK does not count towards the limit!

- Actions: Actions are oneshots of normal mafia roles, and work pretty much the same way those do. If you have any questions about them, ask us!



- Keepers: Keepers cause changes on cards and players’ hands, allow players to make additional movements, or mess with someone else's cards. Keepers will always resolve after actions.

General mafia rules apply. If you are playing, do NOT discuss the game outside the thread or authorized OOT channels!

Please, do not lurk. The lurker threshold will be 10 posts per game day, with the requisite being halved for hammers that happen at 12h to deadline or earlier, and eliminated if 24h to deadline or earlier. Communication is key - if something important is keeping you from posting and we can accomodate it, tell us! First time is a warning, second one is a modkill.

Do not edit your posts. If there is a reason you need to do so, tell us first.

Do not directly quote private communications. Copying and pasting any kind of OOT comms into thread is not allowed. Neither is copying and pasting any kind of mod communication, including your PM, either in thread or in any possible OOT communication channels. This rule will be enforced, and infringing it will result in a modkill. Card playing is excluded from this rule, but only for the card being played at a given moment.

Do not fake day actions. Do not modify the quoted text of a card you are playing.

Don't be an rear end to people. You don't have to be all nice and friendly all the time, but if things get too heated, please disconnect, calm down and come back later. Again, mod team is here to ensure everyone has fun, but I'd particularly not like needing to tell posters to chill. Be mindful of the person at the other side of the screen!

Game features no alignment changes, no jesters, and no other mod-bastard stuff (note: as always, game may not be 100% free of mod-bastardness, but we try).

We will use Discord. Link is here, please join.



This game works on majority, with hammers happening upon a player reaching half+1 of the votes. Should majority not be reached, no execution will happen.

Nights will be at maximum 24h long from hammer, and can end early if all night actions are in. Days will begin inmediately after nights end, with the deadline being 48/72h.

We're open to setting up a deadline that works for everyone, so if you are not on the US, and we don't know you, please note your timezone on sign-up! We cannot guarantee it will 100% accomodate everyone, depending on where you are you may get some odd hour like 10 am or 6 pm, but we'd like to avoid anyone getting a middle of the night deadline.

Days are at a maximum 48h long, going up to 72h if they span a weekend. Days end at hammer and threads will be closed at night. You can post during twilight (after hammer and before thread closes) but no game-related talk is allowed in that time, and those posts will not count towards day postcount.

Town wins when all threats to town are eliminated. Scum wins when they hold control over the vote. Survivor wins by living until the end!

This may be one of the few games where poo poo posting is not only allowed but preferred.

Also +1 to checking for the active rule in play, doing the "catching up" style posting may do more harm than good on this one.
