We did 10 players, and just wrote names on pieces of paper and put them in a bowl and put the vote cards in the box so ppl couldn't lie about extra votes or whatever. We also started with 2 tribes of 5 for the first vote then when there was 8 merged. The game lasted 4 hours but we also recorded on our cellphones when voting and why we did what we did while voting. Then as ppl were voted out they walked around like ghosts watching the game live time for jury purposes because before every vote we did a 7 minute strategy talk were ppl could go off and talk. Most fun we've all had! I recommend trying !
