7 itemsAbout the Game
In the Fractured Kingdom, politicians really are monsters.
Whether it's the Vampires ensuring that the population have the calorie content of their blood tattooed on their necks, or the Zombies implementing speed limits on walking - the nation suffers just the same.
It's time for CHANGE.
Because once YOU become Prime Monster, the nation will suffer in NEW and EXCITING ways!
In the parliament of the Fractured Kingdom, rational argument is not required! You can bully, blackmail, threaten and commit grievous bodily harm in order to win votes. And that's just on the members of your own party!
Release the Nosferatu Files? Decriminalise arson? Allow Same Hex Marriage? Finally - you're in charge and can enact your appalling policy agenda on a weary nation!
Whether it's doubling-down on your problematic past social media posts, accepting free samples from an arms dealer or tear-gassing your own housekeeper - you're the boss and you do things YOUR WAY.
30 reprehensible representatives from 15 political parties are ready and waiting to savage your ideas, policies and personal appearance!
Every card is a choice – you can either play it for the effect (how conventional!) or you can do as any good politician does and seek to exploit it for Political Capital, which allows you to deploy your powerful personal Tactics.
Are you a political bruiser, a slimy bastard or an irredeemable bungler? Play as all three of these classic political archetypes in the form of Chopper Badstone of Orcs-4-U, Viscount Sucksworth of Vampiric Victory or Rotilda De Cay of The Zombified People's Movement.
The public wants things you can't afford, your party wants things you can't achieve and opponents just want you dead. To hold on to power you'll have to somehow maintain your personal authority, political capital, poll rating and cash. Good luck!
All debates should be bound by respect and decorum, right? Wrong! Here if you don't like what your opponent is saying, you can simply have them killed. Just make sure the Shrieker of the House doesn't catch you!
Ramp up the difficulty by making ridiculous pledges to a gullible electorate in a misguided attempt to secure a legacy!
Has your political career been like watching a clown run across a minefield - except not funny? Has your party lost faith in you? Steal the initiative by resigning like the hopeless failure you are!
