You must reveal to the world the truth about the conspiracies that are preparing in the shadows... You must choose one of two words to start (given in a short sentence, revealing a fake conspiracy). Then, you make a list of words, each one linked to the previous, and including two accomplices (two imposed words). Finally, the last word in your list must be one of the two final words offered by the cards (the guilties). For exemple : The fake conspiracy : "As usual, the other line of *cars* move faster in a *traffic jam* !!! For sure, that's a conspiracy against some car drivers...". You choose to start from "car", finish with "pharmaceutical industry", and having "carpet" and "Snow White" in your words list (these words are written on cards too). Your "theory" could be : Car* -> Plane Plane -> To fly To fly -> Magic *carpet* Magic carpet -> Aladdin Aladdin -> *Snow White* Snow White -> Snow Snow -> Powder Powder -> Meds Meds -> *Pharmaceutical Industry* Everyone expose his theory and compare it to the first player. You earn one point if you finish to the same guilty. Then finally, each player must give one point to his favourite theory. —user summary
