Goon X2


Mechanic:
Everynight you roll a dice, guess number and if you roll wrong you lose 2 life.
Citizen starts with 8 Life
Goon Starts with 10 Life
Goons cannot be lynched whole at full health
If a 7 roles that can only be rolled if all players roll 5 then everyone loses 4 Life.
If a 9 Roles that can only roll if all players choose 1 they gain all their life back at Lose the game in 2 turns.

Like some of these might make ok VFM rolelists (Which is pretty much the same as BFM) but giving them their own queue probably isnt worth it.
Just use 9p matrix or something similar to teach newbies the basic of FM.
Also that first one is like the exact meaning of scumsided as town doesnt start with majority

Extra Mechanic: Even Night Mafia Kills only

Extra mechanic only neuters the jester here. Further, imagine a world where town lynches the jester day one, jester kills town, mafia kills town. The game is 2v2v1 with a kingmaker entering day 2, even without the extra mechanic.

This is insanely swingy with a player choosing cit/goon in 9p. If the player chooses goon, town mls day 1, mafia kills correctly n1, and vig panic shoots n1, then it's 3v3 d2; mafia is ensured a ml with the extra mechanic, assume vig is still alive, game ends up in 2v2 with vig dead with a correct shot in d3. If the mechanic is not in play, they just have to ml d2 for a win.

It's possible to go on and on.

These serve no purpose to introduce new players to mafia, nor do they have any semblance of balance. They more closely resemble chaos style TOS setups, which, while are suitable for a group of close friends, are not good for a nfm-style games, nor are they likely to even pass the balance team for vfm.

Seth, do you understand the game?
