The Great Twist



St. Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow

War in the Palace is an open setup nightless mafia for 9-players.

There are two Heirs, a handful of Guards for each that know the identity of the heir they support, and an Assassin that is trying to kill both of the heirs. This is a variant on Assassin in the Palace.

Setup
Blue Heir
3 Blue Guards
Red Heir
3 Red Guards
Assassin

Heir - Two Heirs with three guards each watching their backs. Doesn't know anyone's role. Wins when the other Heir and the Assassin have been killed.
Guard - Color aligned with an Heir. Does not reveal color on flip. Knows who their Heir is but not who the other guards are. Guards suicide if their Heir dies.
Assassin - Upon being lynched gets 1 or 2 shots (depending how many heirs remain) to kill the remaining heir(s). Wins if both Heirs are dead.

If the Assassin fails to kill both Heirs, the game will continue until an heir is eliminated.

EXAKT Science posted:

The issue I see is that say the assassin dies and kills guards so that each team has the same number of guards, plus their heirs. That would be a draw, right?

In this situation, it is possible for Heirs/Guards to unknowingly vote to lynch a guard of their own color.

It is possible for the game to only have the two Heirs remaining without any guards or assassin, in which case I'm going to say everyone loses.

If anyone has any questions about game mechanics, feel free to PM me.

I'm doing a whole Father's Day thing, so I probably won't be able to update this for a bit today.

The Great Twist
Bang!!

Mithross clutches his chest.

"For... the true heir..."

Mithross was a Guard.

imgay has failed to kill both heirs. His last moments of life before being hung were the first few seconds of Runaktla's terrible reign.

The Red Team is victorious.

Are Assassin games something people are interested in playing again? They're super easy to run.

I could just run this setup again... unless anyone had any ideas to tweak things.

Could do Contagion in the Palace.

Eh. It's almost time for my Christmas in July game I've been planning. Might do that instead of another Assassin.
