Different Roles

Mafia
Mafia's objective is to 'kill' all innocent members in the party. If the mafia(s) survive until the end of the game, the mafia party wins the round. The round ends based on the ratio of the surviving mafia with the surviving civilians. For instance, if there 3 mafias left in the party and 2 civilians left in the round, the mafias have won the round. If there are 3 civilians left along with the 3 mafias, then the game continues until all the mafias are killed or until the mafia outnumbers the civilians.


Cop (a.k.a Sheriff)
The police's objective is to figure out who the mafia(s) are during the daytime phase and during the nighttime phase. During the nightime phase, all the cops (or 1 cop) will need to select a player(s) that they believe is the mafia and let the narrator know. The narrator will let the cop(s) know if the selected player is the mafia by giving a thumbs up or down, up meaning 'yes' and down meaning 'no.' [The narrator can also nod up and down to signal 'yes' or shake head left and right to signal 'no.'


Nurse
Card: Queen (Q)
The nurse's role is to save an individual's life during nightfall. During nightfall, the narrator will call out the nurse(s) and ask the nurse to select one player that they would want to save. If there are more than 1 nurse, the nurses must all agree upon one player whom they want to save. The narrator will acknowledge the nurse(s) decision and ask the nurse to put their head down.
It is then daytime and all players are back into game.


Civilians
Civilian's role is to detect who the mafia(s) are through teamwork with the help from other civilians, cops, nurse, and sometimes mafias. Civilian's are the real detectives and also the victims during the game as their life can be swept away during the nightfall. The civilians should role play by sharing valuable insights and tips that they can gather during the round. Civilians have the power to unite and select who they think are the mafia, accuse them, and get a player out through consensus. But civilians must be careful not to accuse anyone because they might be accusing a civilian by mistake.
This is where the game gets good. Not is 100% sure who the mafias are in the beginning of the game but eventually, as the rounds pass by and players go down, the mafia(s) will gradually get revealed.


Narrator
There is always one narrator for all rounds. The narrator narrates and moderates the game from the beginning to the end. Their role is crucial in the game.
The narrator must announce the daytime, nightfall, and call out the mafia, cops, and the nurses during the nightfall. During the daytime, the narrator must moderate the game by announcing the accusations, defense, and votes presented by the players.
