About the game

What you do in a play session

Welcome to the game of power, where ethics are optional and political survival is everything! In Your Excellency, you step into the shoes of a newly elected deputy with one clear goal: ensure your mandate doesn't end after four years. To achieve this, you'll need plenty of political capital, money, and, of course, the loyalty of the voters. But don't think it's just about shaking hands; the path to reelection is paved with questionable maneuvers and behind-the-scenes schemes.

The game utilizes deck-building mechanics, where you start with few resources and must expand your influence to acquire more powerful cards. You'll need to manage your hand with precision, deciding whether to spend resources to strengthen your base or use the 'take that' tactic to bring down your competition. The atmosphere is pure satire, capturing the essence of the Brazilian political scene with plenty of humor and irony.

While you try to consolidate your empire, remember that civil society and your own colleagues in Congress are watching. One wrong move or an overly bold maneuver could attract the unwanted attention of those who want to see you out of office. The tension rises every round, as the race against time is real. Who will best manipulate the pieces of the political board, and who will be forgotten at the polls? Prepare your best smile, your best arguments (even if they're fake), and try to survive the chaos of Congress. It's a game of strategy, cunning, and lots of laughter, perfect for those who enjoy seeing the house fall while trying to stay on top.

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Is the game too complex?
Not at all! The complexity is low-to-medium. If you've played any deck-building game, you'll pick it up very quickly.
How many people can play?
The game supports 1 to 6 players, but it truly shines when the table is full and the fight for power gets intense.
How long does a game last?
Usually around 45 minutes, making it a great choice for those who don't want to spend the whole afternoon on a single session.
Is it recommended for families?
Depends on the family! Since it features 'take that' mechanics and political satire, it's great for adults and teens, but might spark some heated arguments.
Do I need to know about Brazilian politics to play?
It helps you get into the mood and laugh more, but the rules are clear and anyone can play and have fun.
