Gameplay

While the condition to win the game is simple, the mechanism to achieve it is quite complicated. Each player turn consists of three phases namely; 

The prep phase - where players draw two cards from the main pile at the beginning of their turn.

The action phase - where players can either;

• Declare Voter cards which meets the criteria stated on their party card; OR
• Play up to two actions which mostly sees players playing a Scheme card to a target player, or to everyone at play

​​The effects phase - players resolve the effects of cards being played.

These steps repeat until someone successfully accumulates enough Voter cards to win. To add more drama and closely resemble real-life political scenario in Malaysia, alliances between players are allowed (more like encouraged) but this affects the winning conditions; 15 Voter cards are required for two-player alliances to win the game while a three-player alliance would require 21 Voter Cards to win.
