The New Characters
Each new character deserves a section dedicated to them alone to discover their potential under the right conditions. Each recommended setup refers to the modification of the character table in the base game, and clarifies which character token to replace.
The Diamond Lover
She knows how to spot a winner to latch on to.
Setup: the Diamond Lover replaces 1 Loyal Henchmen token.
The Diamond Lover immediately wins when she's accused by the Godfather.
She shares her victory with the player who has the most diamonds: either the Godfather (only the diamonds recovered during the investigation count), or the richest Thief still in the game. In case of a tie, the Diamond Lover listens to her heart and chooses her co-winner.
Be careful: the Godfather cannot give a Joker to the Diamond Lover. When she wins, she doesn't share her victory with the Loyal Henchmen or the Street Urchins!
The Traitor and the Traitor's Minion
Their thirst for power will be satisfied at the Godfather's first mistake...
Setup: the Traitor replaces 1 Agent token; their Minion (used in games of 9 or more players) replaces 1 Loyal Henchmen token. No Joker is used.
When the Godfather makes a mistake which would normally bring about a victory for the Thieves, the Traitor becomes the new Godfather. The Traitor recovers the box (without the diamonds already recovered), as well as the diamonds set aside by the Godfather at the beginning of the game. The Traitor continues the investigation and wins together with his Minion if he recovers the remaining diamonds.
However, if the Traitor accuses a Loyal Henchman wrongly, that Loyal Henchman avenges their Godfather and wins together with the best Thief still in play. Any other mistake brings about the end of the game following the usual rules.
Be careful: the Minion wins if the Traitor wins, unlike the Loyal Henchmen of the former Godfather.
The Revolutionaries
If you keep playing with fire, you might start a revolution, and you never know how long that might last...
Setup: each Revolutionary replaces an Agent token.
The Revolutionary immediately wins if he is accused by the Godfather and shouts "Viva la Revolución!". He shares his victory with the second Revolutionary (if present), the Thief (or Thieves) still in play with the fewest diamonds, as well as the Street Urchins.
Be careful: the Godfather cannot give a Joker to the Revolutionaries!
The Crooked Lawyer
His interpretation of the law is unique, his interest always comes before that of his customers...
Setup: the Crooked Lawyer replaces a Driver token.
The role of the Crooked Lawyer depends on the first player accused by the Godfather:
- if it's the Loyal Henchman or a Cleaner, the Crooked Lawyer allies himself with the Street Urchins;
- if it's a Thief, the Crooked Lawyer allies himself with the Loyal Henchmen;
- if another character is accused, the Crooked Lawyer reveals themselves and is immediately eliminated.
The Crooked Lawyer shares the victory and defeat conditions of the side with which he allies himself.
The Fake Diamond
Even a Fake diamond can awaken greed...
Setup: the Fake diamond replaces an Agent token.
The player who takes the Fake diamond can steal it alone (they are a Street Urchin) or with other diamonds (they are a Thief).
When accused, the player only reveals the Fake diamond (be careful not to mix it with the diamonds when stealing). The player isn't eliminated, still takes part in the investigation, and the Godfather does not give them a Joker. However, the Godfather can accuse them a second time if they think they are a Thief.
Special Situations
Cleaner's Ability
The Cleaner's special ability can be used against the Traitor, their Minion, the Revolutionaries, and the Diamond Lover. Before the beginning of the game, the players come to an agreement on the characters that the Cleaner can eliminate.
Diamond Lover + Traitor
The Diamond Lover can win with the richest Thief or with the Traitor, but without their Minion.
Reminder: the Traitor does not gain the diamonds recovered by the former Godfather.
Diamond Lover + Fake Diamond / Revolutionaries + Fake Diamond
The Fake diamond isn't counted to determine a player's riches.
Crooked Lawyer + Traitor
If the first player accused by the Godfather is a Thief, the Crooked Lawyer is the ally of the Loyal Henchmen and wins if he is accused by the Traitor.
Crooked Lawyer + Revolutionaries
If the first player accused by the Godfather is a Loyal Henchman, the Crooked Lawyer is the ally of the Street Urchins and wins with the Revolutionaries.
Crooked Lawyer + Fake Diamond
If the first player accused by the Godfather has the Fake diamond, it's the next accusation which will determine the Crooked Lawyer's role.
Examples of Adjustments
There are many possible configurations when mixing in the new characters. It's possible to invent your own configurations if you follow the number of characters shown in the basic chart.
Each line below is one configuration as printed in the chart: the characters in the base game's character table are shown by role name, with the Fake diamond and Joker as printed.
Example: Loyal Henchman, Loyal Henchman, Loyal Henchman, Revolutionary, Revolutionary, Crooked Lawyer, Fake diamond, Joker = 3 Loyal Henchmen, 2 Revolutionaries, 1 Crooked Lawyer, 1 Fake Diamond + 1 Joker.
