The Narrative Score is the ultimate gauge of a player’s progress in the game.
It ranges from -5 to +5, with each extreme being instant defeat or victory.
Narrative Score Range
-5: Your narrative is a conspiracy theory
-4: Rogan-tier
-3: Highly unlikely but still believed by anti-social types
-2: Sounds fishy (think princess Diana)
-1: “Hmmm…”
0: Starting point. Neutral state of acceptance. Hypothetically possible TED talk level
+1: Gaining traction with “academics”
+2: Science-backed
+3: Taught to kindergartners
+4: Your narrative MUST be believed to hold a job or rent an apartment / car
+5: Your narrative is a fundamental, underlying truth which cannot be escaped
Affecting Narrative Score
Gaining Narrative Score
- One way to increase Narrative Score by +1 is to use the Seated Figurehead to Proselytize (4F cost).
- Another way to increase Narrative Score by +1 is to control an Agenda card at the end of your turn and use it to Proselytize at no further cost.
Attacking Narrative Score
To decrease opponent’s Narrative Score by -1, use a Creature capable of performing a Discredit attack. (Limitations exist to when Discredit attacks may be done.)
Other Points on Narrative Score
- The concept of your “Narrative” within the game doesn’t matter, you don’t need to make up a story or a lore-based goal to win the game. It’s a finish line.
