About the Game

How far are you prepared to go to pass a bill in this congress?

From lobbyism to crowd-rallying speeches, this round-based social deduction game will have you racking your brain about how to pick & craft the best cards for your agenda and rig the following voting process in your favor.

There can be only one “POLITICIAN OF THE YEAR”, and to win the election, you’ll need to bring all your wits and social skills.

The stage is set for your very own political soap opera,

so dress for the office, lie for the job and bring out your best smile.

Whether you’re here to uphold tradition, drain the swamp or quietly become part of it,

the Personality Processor has a suit and tie for every political animal and fashion crime imaginable.

You decide which ideology your bills will serve. But don’t sweat it. What’s more important - a stable government or your own agenda?

Balance your visible and hidden ideology tags or prepare to make some backroom deals with competitors later.

Craft intricate bills, trade powerful cards with other politicians or rely solely on your winning personality and shining coin smile to get into congress’s good graces. The United World Congress has its own ecosystem and you will learn how to navigate back room deals through espionage, bribery & scams to make it out on top! 

Round by round, play your cards right, stack bills, gain influence and trick your political enemies. Just remember the political tide can turn on you at any given moment.
