## Description
Get ready to dive headfirst into the corporate world with Mentirocracia, a game that satirizes the idea that success comes purely from merit. Forget social justice and sheer effort; here, professional advancement is a behind-the-scenes battle where anything goes to snag that coveted promotion. Each player takes on the role of an ambitious newcomer, ready to climb the ladder, no matter how crooked the path. You'll need to use your action points wisely, manage resources (including precious victory points!), and, of course, stay vigilant, as your coworkers are not playing fair and will do anything to bring you down. The 'Push Your Luck' mechanic adds an extra layer of tension: how far will you go to secure your advantage? The game also features the iconic Coach Lino Silveira, with his dubious advice that might just lead you to the top. Mentirocracia is a humorous and biting critique of the system, exposing the absurdities of idealized meritocracy in a super fun way. It's a card game with elements of economic simulation and direct player interaction, perfect for those who enjoy a good challenge with a dash of cunning and plenty of laughs.
