In Politi-King, players are trying to get to 30 coins or kill all their opponents around the table. However, players can accept bribes, so whoever can make the best deals is sure to win!
Each player begins with 25 health and 3 coins. At the end of each one of their turns, a player draws a card. Cards have a value of 3-7 and be either coins or swords. Coin cards are immediately replaced with coin tokens. However, sword cards can be used on future turns to lower someone else's health by the indicated amount, which usually leads to lots of threats and deals.
All deals are binding on the turn they occur, but you don't have to follow up threats. Will you be able to get away with paying nothing? Will you become a coward, but also a survivor? Will you establish Communism? Will you give away your money to appear weak, only to watch a bloodbath ensue between everyone else? Nearly anything can happen in Politi-King.
