Inspired by Lebanon's history and current challenges, this game transports you to the country's golden years, where you'll have the chance to shape the future. Each player secretly assumes a role: either a Reformist fighting for a better future or a member of the Corrupt Elite seeking to maintain the status quo. The objective is clear: win the most parliamentary seats through strategic campaigning in different districts. On your turn, you can swap places with other players, seek new secret objectives, or spread your influence, either by campaigning in key districts or even contesting areas already occupied by opponents. The tension builds as the game progresses, culminating in the presidential election after 5 rounds or the completion of 6 objectives. Will corruption prevail through bluffing and manipulation? Or will the reformists manage to unmask the schemes and bring about change? With mechanics of area influence, movement, deduction, negotiation, and hidden roles, 'A Game of Corruption' offers an immersive and challenging experience. It's a game that demands cunning, persuasion, and a healthy dose of suspicion, perfect for those who enjoy strong themes and lots of interaction. Are you ready to play this dangerous game and decide Lebanon's fate?
