Never doubt that a small group of citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

Game Play in General

 

It all starts out as just a bit of fun and you don’t care who wins, but before long you have a secret plan.  What’s the plan, well that depends on how you want to play the game. 

 

Game Play 1: You’re a ruthless Dictator, you want to take over the world at any cost, and you don’t care what they think of you!

 

Game Play 2: You’re a benign Dictator, you want to fool them into thinking you’re alright really, you don’t want to play the role, but the dice decided….

 

Game Play 3: You’re a true Democrat, you want to create a real Democracy, and you want to share all your gains to defeat the Dictator.

 

Game Play 4: You’re a Democrat up to a point, and co-operation is a good thing, until the time is right to take control for the good of the people!

 

Discovered you’ve got another Game Play, tell us what it is.

The Democracy Game Board

 

The original idea for the layout of the board came from the way the UN Security Council sits. 

Our inspiration for giving the Dictator a seat at the table!
