Under the Influencer

Under The Influencer is a 2 player head-to-head card game where one player VICIOUSLY cancels a mega-popular influencer for internet clout, and the other player... needs some solid strategy to defend themselves in this slander campaign. Each side will form chains of cards and tokens to build allegations or defenses against the other's arguments to come out on top!

After initial set up, the "Mob" play will link 3 allegations together to start building cases against the "Influencer" player. Being only one person, the Influencer can only respond with 1 card to try to repair the damage to their reputation. This can quickly get out of hand, so the Influencer needs to be on the top of their game in order to make it to the other side! But will they ever be able to truly recover their career?

This game isn't a defense of cancel culture, the people who engage with it, or the people who are cancelled. It simply tries to highlight how absurdly confusing and complicated the internet court of justice can get, and for those who are innocent, the kind of Herculean tactics they would need to survive.

So grab a friend (or enemy), print out the game materials, and prepare for a fun time! Try not to crack Under the Influencer!
