Should I Play Coup?

A fun, fast bluffing party in a box!

Know when your friends are bluffing? 

Coup has everything you want in a party game – a small box, easy to learn, and games that are over within ten minutes. Play once to warm up the crowd, or over and over to gauge your friend’s “tells”. The more you play, the more you learn!

 

The government is run for profit by a new “royal class” of multinational CEOs in the not too distant future. They have reduced all but a privileged few to poverty and desperation through their greed and control over the economy. Out of the oppressed masses rose The Resistance, an underground group focused on overthrowing these powerful rulers. The resistance has created discord, intrigue and weakness in the political courts of the nouveau royal, bringing the government to the brink of collapse. You, as a powerful government official, can manipulate, bribe, and bluff your way to absolute power. You must expel your rivals and destroy their influence in order to succeed. One can only survive in these turbulent times.
