Dubious Alliance is a social bluffing game meant to be played with 3-7 players, which, according to the rules can take anywhere from 60-90 minutes. Each player takes the role of an orc tribe leader and is attempting to gain the most prestige without dying. The catch is, there is no player elimination – if one person dies, the whole group loses even though everyone is out for themselves. The community draw pile has cards which effect player’s hands, health, and prestige. The game of it comes into play during the trading phase – which player attempts to trade cards away with one another but is not allowed to divulge direct information from the card they are trying to trade away. Players may only hint to what is on their card by speaking in vague terms, so really, trade at your own risk and hope your fellow orcs are honest. (Read More)
