About the game
Get ready to dive into the chaos of the Quack-Quack dynasty, a kingdom where corruption reigns and revolution lurks! In Quack-Quack, Corrupt Ducks, your objective is simple yet challenging: survive this era of turmoil, even if it means stepping on others and accumulating wealth. The game places you in dynamic roles: sometimes you're a corrupt official, robbing the weaker classes; other times you transform into a secret royal inspector, ready to punish corruption; and, at other moments, you can be the spark of a revolution that will turn the world upside down.

The core mechanic is ladder climbing, where all players start with the same number of cards and must get rid of them. Each round, you must play a stronger combination than the previous one, and the strength of your plays is determined by both the status of the cards and the quantity you manage to combine. But the fun doesn't stop there! Special cards like 'Revolution!' and 'Here comes the royal inspector!' act as real bombs, adding an extra layer of strategy and unexpected twists, ensuring fierce battles and plenty of interaction at the table. It's a fast-paced card game with tactical decisions and plenty of bluffing, perfect for those looking for a light yet mischievous experience.
