Description
Playable as its own secret-society Illuminati, this card lets a player run the game as the Church of the SubGenius itself, with a unique special ability tied to the group's cult-parody ethos.
Conspiracy Narrative
The Church of the SubGenius is a real, still-active satirical mock religion founded in 1979 by Ivan Stang and Philo Drummond, built around a fictional pitchman-prophet named 'Bob' Dobbs and the concept of 'Slack' -- a genuine, long-running piece of American satire on both organized religion and consumer culture, not an actual cult.
