## Description
Imagine a city in absolute chaos. A coup has left a dangerous power vacuum, and now everyone wants a piece of the pie. From the highest aristocrats to the shadiest gang leaders, everyone is scrambling to secure the support of the local guilds. But as with everything in politics, nothing is free. To gain this support, you'll need cunning, bribes, and, of course, a deep understanding of the four most influential figures in town.

In Pot de Vin, the gameplay revolves around winning tricks to claim cards from your opponents and building collections of guild symbols. The goal is straightforward: the player who gathers the most valuable sets of symbols wins. However, the game has its traps. There are Jokers, which are great for completing your sets, but then there is the dreaded 'Pot-de-Vin' (the 13 card). If you end up with it and fail to collect all of them, it will hurt your final score. It's a calculated risk: you try to profit from infamy, but if you slip up, the cost is high.

The game blends the tension of a classic trick-taking game with hand management strategy, requiring you to know exactly when to strike and when to hold back. It's a battle of nerves where prudence is just as important as audacity. If you enjoy fast-paced card games with direct interaction and a flavor of political intrigue, Pot de Vin is the perfect choice for your next game night with friends.
