Mass claims have won the game for Town in Conspiracy I and II, Batman and T2, and that’s just off of the top of my head. Scum likely would have won Apocalypse had the Godfather not made a critical mistake in his claim during the mass claim. YSI was designed so that the Town had to mass claim to have a chance. Now, the mass claims in Conspiracy, Batman and Apocalypse came towards the end of the game, T2 was a special case because it was an open game, and YSI was different from any other game we’ve ever played. Early in a game, it’s unlikely to help the Town, but a mass claim towards the end of the game is a necessary tactic.
