imo the best way to play is 2 maf 1 cop 6 townsfolk
seems really hard for the town to win with this setup
for anybody that doesn't know how to play, this is basically a giant leveling game. people accuse somebody of being maf and give reasons, discussion ensues. amidst the discussion, mafia BS's their way thru to blend in and attempt to stay alive, villagers try to pinpoint who is genuinely trying to figure things out (i.e. fellow villagers) and who's blowing smoke to stay alive. once you get the hang of it it's really simple.
