Unplayable 99 Dark Tactics to Influence Anyone and Never Get Played Again
About this book
Everyone is running a play on you. The charming stranger, the boss with the “quick favor”, the salesperson with a deadline, the partner who loved you too fast. Most people never see it coming.
Unplayable lays out 99 tactics used to win trust, money, loyalty and love, each paired with real stories from history. Every card shows you how the move works, what it sounds like, and how to shut it down.
Read it once and you’ll start seeing the strings. Read it twice and no one will pull them again.

Isn’t this a manipulation playbook?
No. Every tactic ends with the counter. Levers with an honest use get a clean version; abuse and scams don’t get one.
Is it based on real psychology?
Yes. Where a researcher is named, the work is real. Where the evidence is shaky or contested, the card says so.
