Welcome to your first day at Doomscroll, rookie! We're an up-and-coming social media company set in a fantasy, steampunk world, and your job is to curate a feed of posts addicting enough to sell ads. The first advertising imp to sell three ads wins! To play Doomscroll, play various Post cards to your feed to generate enough interest in one of the four topics - politics, entertainment, hobbies, and sports. Once you've got the feed full of juicy content, drop an Ad card with the same topic in there to make the sale to the user! In addition to playing Post and Ad cards, players can use their AI (Advertising Imp) cards to either compromise their opponents' feeds or improve their own. Players can also recruit Influencers to their feeds, bringing them game-long bonuses that make it easier to sell Ads or abilities that help them boost their feeds' addicting nature. Alright, rookie, time to shine. Let's see if you're cut out for Doomscroll! -description from the publisher
