About the game
You must reveal to the world the truth about the conspiracies that are preparing in the shadows... You must choose one of two words to start (given in a short sentence, revealing a fake conspiracy). Then, you make a list of words, each one linked to the previous, and including two accomplices (two imposed words). Finally, the last word in your list must be one of the two final words offered by the cards (the guilties). For exemple : The fake conspiracy : "As usual, the other line of *cars* move faster in a *traffic jam* !!! For sure, that's a conspiracy against some car drivers...". You choose to start from "car", finish with "pharmaceutical industry", and having "carpet" and "Snow White" in your words list (these words are written on cards too). Your "theory" could be : Car* -> Plane Plane -> To fly To fly -> Magic *carpet* Magic carpet -> Aladdin Aladdin -> *Snow White* Snow White -> Snow Snow -> Powder Powder -> Meds Meds -> *Pharmaceutical Industry* Everyone expose his theory and compare it to the first player. You earn one point if you finish to the same guilty. Then finally, each player must give one point to his favourite theory. —user summary

Questions and answers
Crazy Theory supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Crazy Theory is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Crazy Theory for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Crazy Theory has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
