About the Game

Throughout history, some subsets of the population have believed wildly improbable things. These are often referred to as conspiracy theories and the threads holding those theories together are often tenuous at best. In this game you play as a radio show host trying to convince the public of ridiculous conspiracy theories. Weave your way between people, places, events, and things to spin a tall tale that surely must be true. Game play involves moving a string and bobbin around a peg board to connect conspiracies and collect evidence, using that evidence to prove conspiracies and convince sheeple to follow your fledgling podcast! The podcaster with the most sheeple following their podcast at the end wins!
