Best Mafia Games for Study?

[mathcam]

I think you might want to lean toward minis...normal games can be somewhat overwhelming to read through. There's just a lot of people to try to keep track of. I personally would recommend Werebear's Mountainous Mafia (Mini 77), as it's small enough to keep track of all the players and doesn't have any mind-boggling rule changes in place. It's just straight-up hardcore mafia.

While I'm talking, I'll also say that there are two good ways to go through past games: One is where you know what everyone's role is by looking at the front page first, and the other is where you read through without knowing the roles and seeing if you can figure out who's mafia as you go.
