A viciously cutthroat negotiation game of Renaissance nepotism. You want lucrative positions in the other families' businesses, so you offer bribes, but here's the catch: once a bribe is accepted, the paid player owes you absolutely nothing. Promises mean less than air, betrayal is the norm, and grudges pile up fast. Not a game for fragile friendships.
Who it's for
Groups who relish ruthless, no-holds-barred negotiation and can laugh off betrayal rather than take it personally.
Not for you if…
You dislike conflict, hold grudges, or play with sensitive friends. This game is built to break promises and test relationships.
Vibe's take
Savage, trust-free negotiation where every accepted bribe is a potential betrayal and grudges pile up fast.
