Conspiracy! (2016)

About this game

We all know that conspiracies are real. They are trying to clone Hitler, role-playing is actually devil worship and the Reptilian overlords are watching our every move! The problem is that for some reason people ignore these obvious facts. That has to change, and quickly before it's too late! Conspiracy! is a game for two to four players. During the game players reveal conspiracies, each of which grant the player some special power. Additionally, players can work to discredit the insane conspiracies of other players (what nut jobs!) by leaking stories to the tabloid press. Points are scored for the conspiracies left at the end of the round and those that are accepted possibly true by the public double in value. The game ends when a player crosses one hundred points. The highest score wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
