About Capitol Deal
Capitol Deal is a fast-paced, politically themed game of strategy that satirizes the often unscrupulous ways that politicians climb the ladder of power. The game involves quick card dealing and players must use their wits and cunning to outmaneuver their opponents and gain the upper hand.
In this game, players must collect and play various cards that represent tactics and resources commonly used in the political arena, such as bribery, propaganda, and dirty tricks. Players must also be on guard against their opponents, who may try to steal their cards or block their progress.
The gameplay is heavily influenced by another popular fast-deailng card game where the winners get rich, but the only build limited power. With Capitol Deal, players get rich too, but with a unique political twist that adds an extra layer of strategy and humor. This game is perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced, competitive gameplay and have a keen sense of political satire.

Our Story
Once upon a time, a we were playing the a popular card game in which the winner of the game wins by aquiring the most wealth (just like it's board version). As we played, we started to realize that being rich shouldnt be the ultimate goal: there are dozens or so monopolists in the country, and while they were powerful, they don't run the country. Empowered with this realization, we decided to create our own card game that would better illustrate the ways in which people come to true power.
We spent countless hours designing and playtesting our new game, making sure that it was both educational and enjoyable. The game combined elements of luck and strategy, and it was filled with surprises and twists that kept players engaged for hours on end. Finally, after many long nights and hard work, we released their game to the world. We're happy to see the game becoming a party favorite, staple at family game nights, political science classes, and even in the offices of lawmakers.
We're thrilled to have created a game that was not only entertaining, but also educational and empowering. We hope, as people continued to play and learn from their game, they begin to see shortcomings of our political system and push for change; change that would make this game boring, more fair and less fun. Enjoy.
