You are Conrad, a steely-eyed conman with a silver tongue, and a crushing debt to Mr. Octopus. After years on the run practicing your craft, you have returned to Schmucksville to con your way to the top and pay off your debt. Armed with only your coat and last bottle of snake oil, you intend to writhe out of the crippling grasp of Mr. Octopus' tentacles. Refine your cons and slither your way deeper and deeper into the city, but be careful to not be caught in the lies you tell along the way!


Snake Oil is a head-to-head lottery game. Make your way through Schmucksville trying to con the residents out of their most precious belongings by beating them at slots. Collect points when your icons show up in your spin. Get more points than your opponent to win in a best-of-three series. Add an icon to your pool between each round.
