Has anybody seen The Traitors? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Verraders
It's a Dutch reality show that plays very similar to Mafia/Werewolf with many localized counterparts in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, etc. that hems by a very familiar premise: there are Faithful and there are Traitors. Every night, the Traitors decide on one player to Murder. Every day, the Faithful must sus out who amongst them is a Traitor and vote to Banish one of their own. If the game ends and all of the Traitors have been successfully Banished, the remaining Faithfuls win! But if there is even a single Traitor amongst them, the remaining Traitors steal the win!
It plays extremely similar to Mafia, but has a few subtle differences -- namely in that there are social mechanics at play and the only way to win is make it to the end, so win conditions are a bit more fluid, and the host (of the American version at least) is super flamboyant. (A role I was meant to play!)
I've been interested in experimenting with the format, if people are interested in playing. It would be ideal to play with 12-24 players, but that amount in this forum climate would be unrealistic, so I may look into possibly playing with as few as 8.
Anybody interested?
If I can get at least 3 or 4, I'll start seriously composing something, then we can see what happens from there.
