Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit

Love this game! Very under-appreciated. I really enjoy the complexity of every decision including the possibility of a Dr Solomon win as time goes on. It plays quickly at 2P and is easy to set up. High quality of the production materials, too.

I love this kind of games. Very simple rules and very strategic decisions, no randomness but still tons of push your luck due continuous player interaction forcing you to make your best poker face, winning conditions instead of victory points, and so meaningful take that moments! Also, this is a 1973 game, and I love playing old gems! I hope it becomes a classic in our group too.

I absolutely love this game, but my friends hated it. It mixes an abstract game with some unique hidden bidding. Being blocked out of actions can be annoying.

A quaint little secret bidding game in order to influence game pieces moving around a suitcase on the map of Europe. I desperately want to like it if only to satisfy the confirmation bias for having been sold to the idea by Dan Thurot (Space-Biff). Will make up my mind between 7.5 and 8 if I manage to get some more plays in. With the right crowd it might even been a 8.5 but hey, let's get our eggs hatched first.

Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit is a terrific merger of classic sensibilities and modern polish. This is the sort of thing I love to see getting a proper restoration. Read my review here: https://spacebiff.com/2019/10/23/conspiracy/
