Conspiracy — How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? 💎

The name Conspiracy might suggest to a hobbyist a game of liars and traitors, but there are no such player shenanigans. In fact, it's a hidden bidding game. The board features several agents, loyal to no one, to whom you can secretly send money. Any player can give an order to any agent, with the end goal of bringing the top-secret briefcase to their HQ for the win. But any other player can challenge an order, and when such a conflict arises, the agent will listen to the player who had already bribed them the most. Be careful not to reveal that you've sent gobs of money to a single agent, or they may become the target of assassination!

If BoardGameGeek is accurate, this past year is Conspiracy's 50th anniversary! It's had many editions (and names) in that span. The most recent one is Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit from Restoration Games, which has some nice streamlining and an alternate endgame condition to keep the game (maybe a little too) brief.
