Preview - CON!

By: Athena Hollow

The first sentence explains it all, when you break out the rules: "CON! is the game of becoming the most popular person at a convention, much like the one you bought this game at".

Con is a card game. It's not your standard, run of the mill, trading card game either. It takes sitting around a table with a bunch of friends, throws in some witty banter, funny mental images and nukes, and combines them into one hell of a deck of cards (Or 1 in my case).

The end-goal of CON! is to win the most points by gaining Character cards from the other players' decks. You can achieve this goal by using things such as a "Squeak Toy Guitar", or having Seppuku as a hobby. Each character card has a rule, and each one is different. There are some characters that will only "talk" to the oldest player, and some who like players who have the most "stuff". You can figure out what is worth more, by looking at the point value at the bottom of every card.

One of my favorites is the "Freakness" card that simply states "Felony Conviction for Hunting Cows out of Season".

Since this is just a preview, I will just tell you to come to the forum, and mention the game if you would like more information on where to buy it.
