Mafia Vendetta -- Day Four

[Pleonast]

The general design here was that every player has the potential to both ally with and betray every other player. Not quite there, but close. The pacing is intentional--I prefer slower games, and also wanted to have some pressure against an all-win.

In this instance, with the minimum number of players, the game was solved very early. Basically we had no mid-game. We were at end-game, where it’s just a matter of who is going to betray who. The set up work better with 18 players, four families of four plus two townies.

Yes, I agree this would have worked much better with a larger number of players.

Agreed. Maybe we need a game of 14+ in the next round. Possibly we'll fill up more quickly now?
