Greetings Internet-word-reader!
We are so thrilled to be on the precipice of a glorious new game. Let's talk about it in a series of questions and answers. Find the ones that most relate to you...
What's the new game?
It's call All True Believers and it's a social deduction game with card drafting elements. It involves strategy, deception, collaboration, trust, and a dash of cleverness.
The premise of the game is that everyone playing are members of a shady cult whose goal is to reach tax-exemption status by participating in a series of missions. However, some of the players are secretly Defectors who are trying to surreptitiously bring down the cult from the inside. Watch the video above for more info.
I don't know what "social deduction" means.
A "social deduction" game, also called a "hidden role" game is one where you are assigned a team in the beginning, but some players are randomly assigned to another team. Although everyone will appear to be working together, some are actually trying to achieve another goal.
Examples include: Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance, Avalon, Secret Hitler, and Blood on the Clocktower.
I don't know what "card drafting" means.
This is a term that means that you will be acquiring cards throughout the game that grant you special abilities. It's your choice how you wish to use these cards and which you acquire.
Ok, I get the idea, but how is this different?
All True Believers is built on a combination of familiar deduction mechanics (trusting another player, deceiving them, testing them, etc.) and card drafting strategy (engine building, hoarding & plotting, etc) with a dash of physical challenge (sneakily picking a Crisis of Faith card while everyone's eyes are closed and placing it in front of another player). All these things make the game truly delightful.
Plus, the Kickstarter will include exclusive items, like premium materials, and expansion packs.
In fact, if you follow this link before April 21, you can get one of our expansion packs (retail = $10) for just $1!
I WANT THE EXPANSION PACK FOR JUST $1! HOW????
Hit the button below! But you have to do it before we go live on April 21 at 10AM ET.
The Devious Artifacts expansion pack adds a game within the game. Every player will be dealt an artifact that grants you a special action or reaction near the end of the game.
Cool. What else are you offering?
The Acolyte tier ($69) will include the False Prophets expansion, which has more Disciple cards, Crises, and different Faith orientations that are really a mindf**k (in a good way).
Plus, we're recording an entire album's worth of amazing music that you can play during the game. The album will help you during specific moments of the game (with a killer voice artist btw) but also it just sets the mood super well.
Featuring acclaimed artists like Jesse Perlstein (Sontag Shogun) and the indie rock band Russian Baths.
MORE, please!
Ok! Uh, we also have an insanely cool play mat...
And a tablet that holds your Crisis of Faith cards so that you can move them around the table more easily.
And most of these materials are included or upgraded in the final Tier, The High Council ($119). Which includes wood and metal pieces! Also includes a card sleeve pack.
Too Long; Didn't Read 😐
No problem! We've got these awesome videos that teach you more about the game. And you can visit the campaign page via the link below.
