This video is being shared on social media and we need to address it. This conspiracy theory is just that - a theory. There is no basis behind these accusations.

MUD: the dirty game of American elections
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 3 lety
MUD (or Money Undermining Democracy) is a simple but strategic card game where you play the role of a wealthy politician, attempting to "buy" an election. You choose just how corrupt you are and how much risk you're willing to take, while wielding a beautifully illustrated deck, full of references to old Americana design, political cartoons, and real political scandals. No knowledge of politics...

    Three questions sorry: 1. What size are the cards? 2. What size is the box? 3. What’s the sanctum? I saw some cards said that.

    • @pillboxgames
      @pillboxgames Před měsícem

      1. Tarot size 2. Most likely 5.4” x 6.2” x 1.2” 3. Nothing. It was what we were calling the Shadow before we changed the name. This video shows a prototype - the real game is being printed soon (the Kickstarter campaign is going on until June 13, 2024).

    Does Hex Effects has the same card material and tarot size of Side Effects

    • @pillboxgames

      It's the same tarot size, but the cards are different. New action cards, different card punishments, and new abilities not offered in Side Effects. Definitely worth getting!

    So if you have a a disorder with a medicine card on it does that open you up to get that disorder again? And I wasn’t aware that you could give out disorder cards without the use of medication cards

    • @pillboxgames
      @pillboxgames Před 2 měsíci

      You can't get that disorder again if you're already treating it. And you can only give a disorder to a person who is taking medicine that has that disorder as a side effect.

    I'm afraid that the current social media craze is to make up stuff in the head, convince lots of gullible people they have been lied to because the authorities cannot disprove the made up stuff. If everything we can't prove was a sinister conspiracy, then this must include the existence of God. Who can prove categorically that he exists? Result... all religions are conspiracy theories; lies told to us by the ruling authorities in order to hide the truth - humans are doomed to failure.
