Assassins in the Palace [Heist]

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I have a renewed interest in mafia and maybe you all have too, so I wanna host a simple game.

This is a classic variation of mafia where the roles go like this:

1 King
2 Assassins
8-10 Guards

The King and the Guards are the "town" faction, and the Assassins are the "mafia".

The Assassins win the game if they eliminate the King. Killing the Guards is not necessary. The good guys win the game if they eliminate the Assassins and the King survives.

The Guards will learn the name of the King in the role PM. But the King doesn't know who the Guards are, and neither do the Assassins.

There are no night phases. Each assassin has a single kill shot they can use at any time. If they use that kill, they die. But if they are eliminated, they are allowed to retaliate and use their kill shot before leaving the game.

So the King must hide, the Guards must hunt the Asassins while pretending they don't know who the King is, and the Assassins must hunt the King.
