2 Mafia - Deceive and survive the town's hunt. You win once you've hit vote parity.
On Sel, in the Selish system of the cosmere, certain people of the Rose Empire are able to us an ability called Forgery. With this power, one can use a specially crafted stamp to imprint a new past on an object. This new past will come to reflect the future transforming the stamped object.**Disclaimer!**
This game will contain information/names/concepts from the novel, but will not contain spoilers for the book. I'd think of this more of the aroma you get by walking near the restaurant rather than going inside and seeing the food for yourself. As a fan, I hope I can do these books justice.
Two expert thieves are attempting to steal the Moon Scepter, however, one of them, Wan ShaiLu is a master forger. Through deception by use of forgery, Wan ShaiLu and the Imperial Fool have hidden amongst other Imperial Citizens, Arbiters and Guards. Will the thieves be successful in their plot to take the Moon Scepter?
