Intrigue

This game was created while working on a gossip mechanic for another project, Daughter. It’s a relatively straightforward game where players attempt to maneuver pieces on the board to match their secret preferred outcome. The trick is that they can only manipulate the board by sharing rumors and getting other players to agree with those rumors. However the only reason another player would agree with them, is because it’s somehow in their best interest to do so. The game does a good job of making players think twice about every decision and can easily lead one down a rabbit hole of paranoid conspiratorial thinking.
