About this game

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.
