Description

Power Play: Schemes & Skulduggery is a competitive narrative game where you take on the role of a supernatural mastermind with a villainous plot to execute. With easy-to-learn rules, 4 to 8 players can dive into a world of comic book-inspired espionage and mystery, using storytelling, variable player powers, and voting to outmaneuver each other. Your goal is to be the first to put all the pieces of your secret plot into place, declaring yourself the winner after about 60 minutes of play. In this game, you'll utilize secret actions, supernatural powers, and superior planning to gain an advantage, all in a free-form, open environment. It's underhanded, unrestricted supervillainy, where you dictate your actions and they come to pass, without the need for role-playing or adhering to a moral code. Designed by John Parmalee and published in 2014, Power Play: Schemes & Skulduggery offers a unique blend of strategy and storytelling, making it a thrilling experience for fans of mafia, murder, and mystery games.
