Conspiracy Defense

Defend a conspiracy theory with no evidence.

You get a theory with no basis in anything, and five slides to make the case anyway: the claim, an exhibit, the cover-up, the money trail, and who's really behind it.

How it works

1.Everyone defends a different theory
2.Make up your evidence
3.Stay in character the whole time
4.Cite at least one source that doesn't exist

Your deck is already started

Nobody starts at a blank white slide. Every player gets these 5 slides pre-laid-out in the Corkboard theme, with a prompt on each one telling you what goes there.

The Claim

State it flatly, as established fact.

1/5

Exhibit A

2/5

The Cover-Up

Who buried this, and how badly did they do it?

3/5

Follow the Money

A diagram with far too many arrows

4/5

What They Don't Want You To Know

Your final accusation: who's really behind it

5/5

How you're scored

After each presentation the room votes on three things specific to this mode, not generic “was it good”.

Evidence (Fake)

How well-constructed was the fake proof?

None offered → Airtight nonsense

Conviction

Did they believe it while saying it?

Hedged → Zero doubt

Unhinged

How far off the map did it get?

Reasonable → Gone
