"Devious and Mean"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is great fun. All the bravado of poker but with the strategy of modern tabletop gaming. You'll find out more about yourself and those you play with than you knew before as you lie and cheat your way to victory. Just don't be surprised if you laugh your way through watching your friends trying to maintain a straight face as they stab you in the back.

"Fantasic Game"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Resistance meets Poker as you bluff your way through the game. Do you really have the cards you claim to have or are you a master bluffer. Quick, Fun and Fast. I would recommend this game.

Description

Everything you need in one small box!

In the not too distant future, The government is run for profit by a new “royal class” Of multinational CEOs. Their greed and absolute control of the economy has reduced all but a privileged few to lives of poverty and Desperation. Out of the oppressed masses rose The Resistance, an underground organization focused on overthrowing these powerful rulers. The Valiant efforts of the resistance have created Discord, intrigue and weakness in the political courts of the nouveau royal, bringing the government to the brink of collapse. But for you, a powerful government official, this is your opportunity to manipulate, bribe and bluff your way into absolute power. To be successful, you must destroy the influence of your rivals and drive them into Exile. In these turbulent times, there is only room for one to survive.

You are head of a family in an Italian city-state, a city run by a weak and corrupt court. You need to manipulate, bluff and bribe your way to power. Your object is to destroy the influence of all the other families, forcing them into exile. Only one family will survive…

In Coup, you want to be the last player with influence in the game, with influence being represented by face-down character cards in your playing area.
