How it plays

At twenty players and above a second Detective enters the deck. You and the first Detective do not know each other and investigate independently, which doubles the town's hard information and makes a counter-claiming Mafia much easier to expose.

Tips

• Compare results before either of you claims: two Detectives with matching results are almost impossible to argue with.
• If a third "Detective" claims, the town has a Mafia counter-claimer; cross-check that player against your list.

Counter-play

Mafia rely on the Godfather reading innocent to both investigators and on killing whichever Detective reveals first.
