    So if this is of interest to anyone here, I strongly recommend getting the Snake Oil card game. The basic premise is you have one player (the potential buyer) pick a profession card, then the other players choose from two word cards in their hands, and have 60 seconds to sell it to the potential buyer. Potential buyer chooses winner, and a new player becomes the potential buyer.

    For added twist, I like to have a questions phase where the sellers get to attack each others’ products. Truly a blast, especially if there’s a bit of drinking going on

        Nice…math doesn’t work out, fudge the math to make it fit the conspiracy. I give it a 5/7…

    I’ve always wanted to have PowerPoint parties where everyone creates a short presentation or pitch on something. I don’t know how to ask my friends to do homework when everyone is 30+ though lol

    Ok and then you find that half of those connected conspiracies are actually true, and someone will rant about it or claim it’s not true, and that’s why I don’t like politics.

      You remind me of someone I was talking to at a party once. I thought they were a normal person and we were just casually arguing about politics but in a very good natured way, it was actually really fun. Then suddenly they pull out that democrats have ritualistic sacrifices where they drink baby blood and he was 100% completely sincere and serious. I think I was ushered away from the group quickly after that by people who know me well enough to know I was about to get rude af asking mocking questions.

      So anyway. I bet you’re fun at parties!

          Woah I mostly just wanted to share a funny story along with the jokey typical punchline response. With my own twist of it actually was fun for me the time I met a conspiracy theorist (although a very extreme one lol)

          I dont even think you’re republican or whatever??? I didn’t mean for you to take this as such a personal attack and I’m sorry for that, but damn your reply is heated af. I suggest you spend time and reflect on why that is.

            Lol ok accepted, I’ve met too many accusatory and judgemental people here lately, so I guess my patience is pretty thin.
