Description

Kremlin is a game of political intrigue set in the Soviet Politburo, where 3 to 6 players take on the roles of politicians vying for control of the party. With a satirical edge, the game is full of entertaining battles for power and influence. Players secretly note their influence on various politicians, and gameplay proceeds phase by phase, with the politician holding the relevant office performing actions based on the player with the greatest influence. As players attempt to remove opponents and promote their own preferred politicians, they must also navigate the aging and health effects of the job. Each turn, politburo members face a health check, and the Party Chief must be healthy enough to wave to the crowd at the October parade. Controlling a politician who succeeds at this three times makes you the winner, in this 75-minute game of negotiation and voting.
