The Long Con is the deck building game of conventioneering, where players are competing to be the first to build the best convention. The inspiration for the game comes from the comic "Warning Label", by Thom Zahler. In the series, the protagonist Danielle pitches a card game where players create their own comic convention and play against other convention promoters.
In The Long Con, players use pairs of guest and event cards to earn money or build their audience. Money lets players add additional cards to their decks, while a bigger audience will upgrade their venue and ultimately win them the game. The guests and events players can add to their decks give them more powerful combinations and unique bonuses. In the end, the combinations of cards each player plays tell a fun, colorful story of how their convention grew into the ultimate con.
