| Imagine a world
designed by Kafka, Stalin, Orwell, Huxley, Sartre
and the Marx Brothers… Paranoia is
a roleplaying game set in a darkly humorous
future. In Paranoia, a well-meaning but deranged
computer desperately protects the citizens
of an underground warren from all sorts of
real and imagined enemies.
You play one of The Computer’s elite
agents. Your job is to search out and destroy
enemies of The Computer. Your worst fear is
that The Computer will discover that you are
one of these enemies.
Paranoia: a lighthearted game of terror,
death, bureaucracies, mad scientists, mutants,
dangerous weapons and insane robots, which
encourages players to lie to, cheat, and to
backstab each other at every turn.
Is that fun?
Trust us.
