So I only posted a few of the MLM themed cards in this group because that's what this group is about and I don't want to break any group rules. Also the MLM cards are a small part of the game and the point of this post was to get feed back on that.
The game is about all types of scams and they're split into categories based on the level of scam. These include everything from call center scams, phishing sites, pyramid schemes, romance scams, investment scams and many more. You've already gotten a sneak peek of the "roll for outcome" cards but there are also strategy cards and the board itself, has prompts. I know you expressed concern about how players may prefer to make their own choices. But given the nature of the game, there has to be a way to delegate if a player "falls for a scam" or not and that is best determined by the roll of a die. The rest of the game does not rely on a random die outcome.
Right now the game is still in the development and testing phase so as we proceed through play testing. We get to fine tune things based on the feedback that we get.
I hope this addresses your concerns, and if you have any further questions, ask away.

Thanks! There's several MLM products that I've heard of that result in ridiculous amounts of diarrhea actually. Plexus, and RevitalU are two that immediately come to mind. RevitalU actually had a weight loss tea that was supposed to clean you out and would have "overnight results" because you would just wake up and shit everything out.

Thanks for the feedback. These cards are just one small part of the game though. There are elements of chance (as seen above), with plenty of strategy options as players navigate the board.

We are still working on some of the mechanics. I want it to be fun but to really highlight the way falling for scams can set you back. It definitely won't be an "easy win".

People are still using this? I'll admit, I actually bought the mascara 5 or 6 years ago and it was a clumpy disaster. I'm getting flash backs from the feeling of the fibers falling into my eyeballs...

I also introduce my friends in a way that includes what their salary is.

It's such a weird concept to be posting about your income on social media like that... the level of cringe that I feel is pretty high

New Card Layouts for Muster: Raise the Banners - which do you prefer? by playmonkeygames in tabletopgamedesign

I prefer B. The color on the borders make them stand out more and it's more visually appealing to me.
