Conspiracy β€” How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? πŸ’Ž

Watch β€œConspiracy β€” How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? πŸ’Ž,” a board game review for Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit from Board Gems on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Gems on YouTube:

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. 00:00 Intro 03:49 How to Play 20:05 Is It a Gem? Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!

About Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit, from BoardGameGeek:

The briefcase is out in the open, and six freelance agents are in the field. In Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit, a restoration of the 1973 classic game Conspiracy, players vie for control of the agents by secretly paying them off and using them to move the briefcase across Europe, trying to get it to their HQ. But other players can challenge and stop an agent from moving if they have paid more than you - and for the right price they can even assassinate another agent. In addition to a slick new look, this restored edition offers two new twists on the original gameplay. First, each agent has a unique ability that lets them move an agent or the briefcase for free. Second, an alternate win condition eliminates stalling and potential stalemates. If no one wins within a certain number of turns, Dr. Solomon can end the game immediately, and whoever has paid off the most to him wins the game. However, if you pay off too much to Dr. Solomon early in the game, that can leave you with little control over the other agents, forcing you to strike a tricky balance between immediate and long-term goals. -description from the publisher
