Bootlegger rules
- An Alchemist-Mezepheles chooses two players on their first night: if either one is good, they are the only players that can turn evil via the Mezepheles. The Mezepheles learns who you picked.
- If the Engineer makes a Kazali, the Kazali may rechoose the Minion characters and each Minion receives one bluff.
- If the Engineer or Kazali makes a Godfather, a player might become an Outsider.
