Welcome to The Game of Oppression: Poe’s Law (GoO) a darkly, sardonic game focusing on inclusive gaming through humor. Similar to Cards Against Humanity in comedy style, in GoO you play a troll on the internet trying to prove you’re the most oppressed snowflake of them all. You are a troll though so your complaints aren’t about real issues but things you’ve made up in your mind. Your friends, evil trolls that they are, are also trying to prove they’re actually the most oppressed and stop you from gaining the win. Most importantly though the Game of Oppression: Poe’s Law is about inclusive gaming. Almost everyone will find an image of themselves somewhere in the deck.
The goal of GoO is to gain the most Oppression Points (OP) and/or to be crowned King of the Snowflakes. Game play is simple turn-based competitive point grab. There are three to five rounds per game depending on the number of players. Each game is approximately 30-90 minutes in length. During your turn you’re allowed to play up to three Cards of Complaint (CoC) worth between 3-5 OP. Additionally, you may play up to one Special card per round. All CoCBlocks are worth -3 OP and one may be played per Card of Complain. Every CoCBlock though can be countered with a DoubleDown worth a single point. Any item on the table not in the SafeSpace may be stolen through judicious use of the special Yoink card. After each round all players draw up to the hand limit of five so you’re never low on ways to prove how “abused” you are by the world.
Storytelling is an important element of the inclusive comedy of GoO. After playing a Card of Complaint you explain your story that goes along with the card. The story is built upon via blocking and then finished via DoublingDown. Each CoC can contain one tiny snippet of story for the group to discuss and share. While you do not have to include storytelling to play the game one of the main goals of the Game of Oppression is to share with your fellow trolls. Prove you’re the most oppressed troll ever to gain the crown.
