How it plays
The most common size, and arguably the best. Big enough for real argument, small enough that every death matters.
The mafia land one kill a night, and any of the three can take it. The town wins by eliminating all three mafia; the mafia win once the living town is down to three.
The Doctor protects one player a night.
