Bah, Humbug and Hoax!

You are a pioneer of science and a torch-bearer of knowledge. Soon you will make a groundbreaking discovery - decipher ancient hieroglyphs, create an innovative fusion engine or harness the power of magical crystals. But that’s less important than the fact that someone can overtake you. You start a war. It’s time to send a message and prove who is the real scientist to that upstart.

Bah, Humbug and Hoax! is a letter-writing role-playing game about academics engaging in a heated battle of intellectual prowess to prove their primacy (and maintain the respect of the scientific community). Requires two participants, Tarot, dice (d6), and writing materials (paper, pencil, pen, word processor, e-mail, etc.) to play it. Alternatively, you can use voice recording software or websites. It has a front side and a back side.

Triggers: maliciousness (a lot)

Bah, Humbug and Hoax! were also published on Fast Forward Jam (29 July 2023) in slightly different form and adapted to the rules of One-Page Jam.
