A quick game of bluffed powers and hidden identities where lying convincingly is worth more than any card you hold.
Who it's for
Bluffing game fans who love Coup and want a quick, bite-sized power struggle that scales from two to eight players.
Not for you ifβ¦
You get uncomfortable being called out or lying at the table, because Complots runs entirely on both.
Vibe's take
sharp, bluffy, tense, quick, cutthroat
Complots puts you at the head of a rival family in an Italian city-state where the only currency that matters is a good bluff. Your hidden characters grant real powers, taking gold, blocking rivals, forcing a coup, but you can claim any power on any turn whether you actually hold that character or not. Get challenged and you'd better be telling the truth, or you lose one of your two lives on the spot. With a new inquisitor character and rules for two players stirring the pot, every accusation becomes a small, delicious gamble.
