New Setups To Play

I'm making a list of setups that could be played instead of popular setups like Fancy Pants and Fool Training 3 and etc. You should give these setups a try if you're tired of playing the same old setups but you also don't feel comfortable joining complex competitive setups.

Feel free to suggest good other setups that are fun to play in the comments section.
I'll keep updating this thread.

Some of these setups might not seem balanced but given enough plays the stats will hopefully pan out. Oddly some of the FP alternatives which are more townsided, have more mafia wins for now but if the optimal strategies are followed town wins are expected more often (given that new players don't freak out upon rolling a new PR).

Fancy Pants alternatives

I believe this is one of the most brilliant night start, 7player setups on the site.
Your problem is with night start 7player setups, not the setups I've gathered here.


you have a bg and multisetup and a caroller. it's bad

Good setup that I actually want to get to start playing once I get more time to play ranked games. Balanced and good overall.

@people complaining about these setups being 'bad'... You can't force them into joining games with stalkers and godfathers.....
Also I'd be glad if people suggested 'better' setups instead of complaining so they look rigorous.


much like you cannot change people who desire simpler setups, you cannot change people that choose to turn their nose up to everything.


also, that was the same person posting on two accounts lol

or you know, a game of jan two point oh will suffice too.



lol, this thread was made for newer players- who wouldn't go near setups like jan 2.0, BV, O2R ... I don't even know how else I can say this.

@people complaining about these setups being 'bad', I'm suggesting these alternatives for setups that are played 70% of the time in the lobby. You can't force them into joining games with stalkers and godfathers. There's supposed to be a transition that would be seamless provided these players play the same type of setups that I gathered here but this is based on my experience. If they wanna stick to 7 player setups with cop there's nothing else you can do.
Also I'd be glad if people suggested 'better' setups instead of complaining so they look rigorous.

post some good alternatives then. It would be fun to see setups other than fancy pants being played constantly and just whining about new ones isn't going to help.

The thing that helped me the most as a new player was going to sandbox and just learning my role from the "Learn" tab and as time went by I memorized all of them. Alternatively, just read the learn tab in your spare time (like while you're dead in a boring game that you still wanna watch) and you don't need to play sandbox. Reading strategies is also important.

Or you could play good setups like VDLI, O2R, or BV
