A Mafia Hack"},"content":{"rendered":"

Last year, for my 39th birthday party, I threw a “Red and Wild” birthday party, inspired by To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. <\/em>In the movie, Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo are drag queens who get stranded in middle America, where they teach others to let their freak flags fly.<\/p>\n

The movie is beautiful and still hauntingly relevant today, 19 years after it was first released.<\/p>\n

At my party, I decided we should have a party game, which was perhaps not the best idea, since I tend to have upwards of 30 people at my parties, and we were all more than a bit tipsy. But party we did, and the game was “Are You Sheriff Dullard?”<\/p>\n

It’s a variation on Mafia<\/em> and Are you a Werewolf<\/em>, in which the players try to deduce who is a hunter and who is prey, and systematically eliminate each other until one side wins.<\/p>\n

My variation can be played with 8 or more players, and has two files– the rules PDF and cards for drawing who will play each role.<\/p>\n
