THIS IS NOT A DIGITAL GAME. This game will require you having physical resources (index cards) and at least 2 other willing players. I hope you'll give it a try despite this overhead!
SUBTWEET is a social card game based on the notion of "subtweeting someone" on Twitter. It's about secrecy in plain sight: you want your intended recipient to know your tweet is about them, while fooling as many other people as possible into doubting your intent, perhaps even believing themselves to the be recipient.
Mechanically, the game involves each player having hands of cards, and taking a rotation of turns in which they play a card, potentially causing players (including themselves) to gain cards. The objective is to empty your hand.
