How a game of Boulevard Mafia (Cartel) goes

Day

1. Morning: the host announces who left the game overnight without naming the reasons. If two attacks hit one target, there is one elimination.
2. Discussion: 30 to 45 seconds for each living player. Jokes and interruptions are allowed only with the host's permission.
3. Nominations: each living player may name one candidate, and the host records the list.
4. Defence: 20 seconds for each candidate.
5. Vote: each living player has one vote and may vote for themselves. The vote is open, candidate by candidate.
6. The most votes means elimination. In a tie there is a second vote between the leaders only. If it is a tie again, nobody leaves.
7. Last word: 15 seconds, and the card is not shown until the speech ends.
8. The roles of eliminated players are revealed by default. In the "closed city" variant they stay hidden until the end of the game. Eliminated players stay silent and give no signals.

Night

Role decisions are taken in a fixed order:

1. Putana
2. Mafia (one shared target)
3. Don (the Commissioner check)
4. Lawyer or Blackmailer
5. Commissioner
6. Journalist
7. Doctor
8. Bodyguard
9. Barman
10. Maniac

Taking a decision does not mean applying it at once. The host first collects all targets, then works out the effects at the same time under the refereeing rules. Inactive roles are skipped. If the Mafia has not agreed within 30 seconds, there is no shot.

Victory

Checking goes in this order: first the Maniac, then the City, then the Mafia. Details are in the rules.
