Majority társasjáték

Angol leírás

Majority is a highly interactive political strategy game for 2–4 players, inspired by the shifting alliances, tactical manoeuvring, and ruthless opportunism of modern election campaigns.

Players take control of rival political parties competing to win electoral districts across the country and secure control of parliament. Over the course of the game, players recruit candidates, manage campaign funds, respond to political events, strengthen regional influence, and sabotage opposing campaigns in the race for political dominance.

Each turn centres around a contested district election. The active player selects a district on the board and reveals a set of Issue Tokens representing the key political topics dominating the local campaign — such as the economy, defence, or health services. Because the political issues change from round to round, players must constantly adapt their strategy to shifting voter priorities.

Every player maintains a shortlist of candidates, each with different policy strengths. Players select a candidate to contest the district, attempting to match their candidate’s strengths to the issues currently influencing voters.

Once candidates' strengths are revealed, players commit campaign resources by spending Donation Tokens to increase their influence in the district. Carefully managing party finances is critical: overspending early can leave a party vulnerable later in the election, but underinvesting may allow opponents to establish powerful regional strongholds.

At the end of each turn, Event Cards introduce scandals, policy shifts, political crises, and campaign developments that can dramatically reshape the balance of power. Some events create new opportunities, while others disrupt carefully planned strategies or target leading players.

District winners are determined by a combination of candidate suitability, campaign spending, party approval, and regional influence from neighbouring districts. Winning a district allows a player to place their candidate onto the board, gradually expanding their political control across the country.

As the election progresses, alliances shift, rivalries intensify, and control of key regions becomes increasingly important. Players must balance long-term planning with tactical opportunism as the political landscape constantly evolves.

At the end of the game, the player controlling the most districts forms the next government and wins the election.
