Mafia Neighbors


There are 4 neighborhoods made up of 4 players each. The Mafia are also randomly sorted into these neighborhoods, with a guarantee that no neighborhood can have more than 2 Mafia members.

Each neighborhood has night talk and can vote at night to perform a different ability. The 4 neighborhood abilities are described below.
  • This neighborhood votes to give one player the ability to place and remove two independent votes the following day.
  • This neighborhood votes to kill one player.
  • This neighborhood votes to investigate one player. The investigation result is delivered to one random living member of this neighborhood.
  • This neighborhood votes to protect one player, from Mafia and neighborhood kills.
The Mafia have night talk. They also have a factional night kill, and a three-shot neighborhood roleblock. Once in the entire game, they can upgrade one of those roleblocks to affect every neighborhood for that night. Each neighborhood can only be roleblocked once, outside of the global roleblock.


Spoiler: v1

Unvotable is the one I'm least happy about honestly, and the one I thought would give the most problems. Idk, maybe not every neighborhood needs an ability.

Also, I was toying with the idea of making the neighborhood roleblock only work once for any given neighborhood. That would stop the mafia from blocking vig repeatedly, at most they would get two nights because of the global block.

Ah double voter could work. Still impactful without completely revolving the game or the strategy around it.
