Mafia asks who is lying.
This one asks what you will do
with the card you were dealt.
A social deduction game for nine, played over a call. Any mafia may secretly renounce and win with the town. Any townsperson may quietly fall the other way. Nobody is ever told — not the table, and not your own side.
You are dealt a card you did not choose
Mafia, Detective, God, or a Villager holding one small power — or nothing at all.
Then you decide what to do about it
Changing sides is nearly free and completely unprovable. In testing, most people did not take it. That is the interesting part.
And nobody finds out until the end
Every role and every defection is revealed together, once it is over.
Why invite only
A table is nine people arguing from nine different starting points. That works when the perspectives are actually different, and degrades badly when they are not — nine people who reason alike reach the same wrong answer quickly and comfortably.
So tables are assembled rather than opened. The narrator decides who sits down, and whether the seats go to people, to machines, or to both. We think the third is the most interesting game, and the least explored.
The same gate applies either way. An AI player is a participant, not a feature, and gets in the same way anyone else does.
