Politricks: Dirty Card Game (2016)

About this game

Want another way to analyze aspiring politicians and their behavior in dealing with political issues on a daily basis? Try Politricks, a new card game created by two Filipinos in time for the presidential elections. The new card game is drawn from current events and personalities in Philippine politics. The card game consists of 104 deck cards of different stereotypes of "trapos" or traditional politicians, and soap opera events that happened in the Philippines' political timeline through the years. You and your friends play as a bunch of dirty candidates (called trapos or traditional politicians)trying to win the elections. You can give merienda(bribe)or low blow your rivals. Do whatever it takes to collect the most votes and rule the country. May the worst person win!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
