## Description
In *Corporate America*, you're not playing to save the world — you're playing to own it with a smile and a stack of cash. This negotiation-heavy political satire casts you as a mega-corporation willing to do anything: bribe politicians, manipulate consumers, even elect a puppet president. The goal? Rake in more dough than anyone else by game's end, naturally! The game unfolds in four delightfully shady phases: *Wall Street* has you founding absurd companies (think 'Trius' or 'Oggle Search') in industries like tech or luxury. *Main Street* lets you play consumer cards to drive sales — or slip a rival some 'incentives' to help your business. The *Campaign Trail* is where things get wild: everyone secretly bids to make their candidate president (the dirtier the better). The winner gets special powers during *Capitol Hill*, where they can rewrite game rules with new legislation... or break every campaign promise. Expect 2 hours of laughter, betrayal, and unapologetic corporate cynicism. Pro tip: don't play with friends who hold grudges.

## FAQ

5-6 players ideal — more people = more chaos and ridiculous deals.

About 2 hours, but may run longer if everyone cheats shamelessly.

### Need political knowledge?
None. The game is satire, not a serious simulation.

### Is there a Portuguese version?
Only fan-made translations, but text is minimal and easy to memorize.
