Ever wondered what it's like to assemble a government? Quorum drops you right into the chaos of Italian politics, where the goal isn't just to enter Parliament, but to secure Ministerial seats to dominate the game. The dynamics are a curious mix of a racing game and political cunning. You control Leaders (who move faster) and Pawns, maneuvering your characters up the palace stairs while dealing with your opponents' intrigues.

The spice of the game lies in the Attack, Defense, and Special cards. They aren't just for movement bonuses; they bring sarcastic comments and effects that can send your opponent straight to prison or put them under investigation. It's the kind of game where you make a deal now only to betray your partner in the next round, all to ensure your pawns occupy the available spots.

Tension rises because scoring is partially secret, so you never know exactly who is leading until the dust settles. If the situation stalls and no one can form a government, a special procedure kicks in to break the political deadlock. The game ends when someone reaches 51 points, usually after the formation of two or three governments. For those who love political themes but prefer something light and satirical over a heavy geopolitical simulator, Quorum is the perfect choice. Additionally, the game includes optional rules to adapt the experience to the majority system, reflecting real changes in Italian politics post-1993. It's all about intrigue, laughter, and that feeling of 'who just betrayed me?'
