«Conspirators» is a fun card game about bluffing, intuition, and absurd beliefs.
Players play cards featuring conspiracy theories, trying to convince others of their «truth» — or, conversely, to deftly deceive them. Some will confidently assert secret feline governments, while others will expose falsehoods… or fall for them.
But be careful: the game includes special cards. «Ear Worm» can lead to disaster for the overly skeptical, and «Brain Soup» will cause complete chaos at the table.
This is a game where what is true isn’t as important as what others believe.
Bluff, doubt, and don’t let yourself be fooled!
Game Rules
Number of players: 3 or more. Game objective: To be the first player to get rid of all of your cards.
Preparation: A deck of conspiracy theory cards is used. All cards are considered «regular,» except for two special cards: — «Noodles on the Ears» — «Porridge in the Head»
The deck is thoroughly shuffled and dealt equally among the players.
How to Play:
- Players take turns moving clockwise.
- On their turn, a player places one or more cards face down on the table and announces the theory represented (e.g., «two theories about UFOs»).
- The player may tell the truth or bluff.
Verification: Any other player may call out, «I don’t believe you!» Then the cards are revealed: — If the player lied—they take all the cards from the table. — If the player told the truth—the verifier takes the cards.
Special Maps
— «Noodle on the Ear» If this card is revealed, the player who declared «I don’t believe it» takes all the cards from the table and all the cards from the hand of the player who played the «noodle.» After this, the «Noodle on the Ear» card is out of play.
— «Porridge in the Head» If this card is revealed, the checking player blindly draws one card from each player at the table (including the one who made the move). The checker takes all the drawn cards. The «Porridge in the Head» card is also out of play afterward.
Game continuation: If no one challenges, the turn passes to the next player who lays down cards, and the card is considered unplayed.
Winning: The player who is the first to get rid of all their cards wins.
