Boulevard Mafia (Cartel) roles and cards
The basic roles come first, then the extra roles. The host deals each player one closed role and does not reveal secret roles. The "On the card" text is printed on the card.

Extra roles
In decks with extra Mafia roles, the host replaces an ordinary mafioso with a Lawyer or a Blackmailer without increasing the number of Mafia players.
